This prestigious conference has been the forum for discussion of nearly all fields in plasma science since 1953, from the fundamentals of the interaction of charged particles with molecules to plasma chemistry, surface treatment and thin film technology, plasma medicine, light sources, plasma assisted combustión, plasma material processing, atmospheric and stellar plasmas, environmental protection and pollution control, plasma aerodynamics, and non-thermal plasmas in fusion devices.

Our conference will offer a complete scientific programme consisting of 10 general and 24 topical invited lectures (see the timetable) covering nearly all topics in the field of ionized gases, given by worldwide leaders in their fields, besides regular contributions and two special sessions on:

Special Session 1: Plasma Space Propulsion
Special Session 2: Plasma Flow Control and Combustion

Finally, the scientific programme also includes lectures from the winners of the von Engel & Franklin Prize and the IUPAP Young Scientist Medal and Prize in Plasma Physics.

On behalf of the International and Local Organizing Committees of XXXI ICPIG, we are kindly inviting you to participate. We look forward to seeing you in Granada.
