Leibniz-Institut für Plasmaforschung und Technologie e.V. (INP Greifswald)

The Leib­niz In­sti­tu­te for Plas­ma Sci­ence and Tech­no­lo­gy (INP Greifs­wald) is the lar­gest non-uni­ver­si­ty in­sti­tu­te in the field of low tem­pe­ra­tu­re plas­mas, their ba­sics and tech­ni­cal ap­p­li­ca­ti­ons in Eu­ro­pe. In ad­di­ti­on to ap­p­li­ca­ti­on-ori­en­ted re­se­arch, INP pro­mo­tes the de­ve­lop­ment of plas­ma-as­sis­ted pro­ces­ses and pro­ducts. The in­sti­tu­te car­ri­es out re­se­arch and de­ve­lop­ment from idea to pro­to­ty­pe. The to­pics fo­cus on the nee­ds of the mar­ket. At pre­sent plas­mas for ma­te­ri­als and en­er­gy as well as for en­vi­ron­ment and health are the fo­cus of in­te­rest. In­no­va­ti­ve pro­duct ide­as of the re­se­arch of INP are trans­fer­red by the spin-offs of the in­sti­tu­te. INP pro­mo­tes ac­tive­ly the trai­ning and fur­ther edu­ca­ti­on of sci­en­ti­fic and tech­ni­cal ju­ni­or staff in the field of low tem­pe­ra­tu­re plas­ma phy­sics in col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with uni­ver­si­ties, re­se­arch in­sti­tu­ti­ons and in­dus­try. The in­sti­tu­te is or­ga­ni­zed as a non-pro­fit or­ga­niza­t­i­on and is a mem­ber of the Leib­niz As­so­cia­ti­on sin­ce its foun­da­ti­on.
