Summer School Riga Technical University Introduction
The summer school lasts for twelve days and includes presentations and discussion groups led by international experts in the field of plasma technologies, combustion and environmental protection. In addition to the discussion programme, the students are divided into teams to undertake short research activities on issues of importance within the plasma technologies area, with a presentation to their peers at the end of the week. Time is also allocated for networking and for informal discussions with the assembled experts. Students leaving at the end of the twelfth day will have developed a network of contacts in the field of plasma technologies and environmental protection and will have gained a broad overview of the issues surrounding sustainable environmental technologies development and implementation. Background The pollution control of the environment is a transnational request of all countries and a strategic aim of the European Union. This is also reflected in the increasing tightening of the exhaust emission standards, particularly in the Baltic Sea Region countries. The intact nature represents an important commercial basis and therefore industrialisation must be conducted in an environmentally friendly manner. New possibilities for this will be opened by innovative plasma-based filter and water treatment techniques. The main objective of the PlasTEP project is to clearly inform political and economic decision-makers about the practical possibilities of low-temperature plasma technology for environmental purposes to establish a market-driven transfer process. For widescale deployment, however, it is necessary to broaden the knowledge in industrialised and developing countries, particularly at an academic level. Training courses or summer schools are one way of contributing to this, by accelerating and supporting the dissemination of knowledge on the potential of plasma technologies to students around the world. The Programme The Summer school programme covers every aspect of plasma technologies development and operation and aims to present the most recent information available in each field. The topics covered include: • Pollutants of ambient air • Treatment Technologies of the pollutants • Plasma process and technologies • Removal of NOx, SOx and VOC by plasma technologies • Plasma water treatment • Environmental impact assessment of technologies • Economic justification of technologies
The leading experts in the area of plasma technologies and environmental technologies are approved as speakers for the Summer school programme - Dr. Ronny Brandenburg (Leibnitz-Institute for Plasma Science and Technology); Prof.Dr.Hab. Andrzej G. Chmielewski (Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology), Dr. Eugen Stamate (Risoe); Prof. Mirosław Dors (Polish Academy of Sciences); Prof. Hana Baránková and Prof. Ladislav Bardos (Ångström Laboratory) and others.
