European Conference on Plasma Diagnostics

The Conference on Plasma Diagnostics is a bi-annual event which aims at bringing together physicists or other scientists working on diagnostics for magnetic confinement fusion, beam plasmas and inertial fusion, low-temperature and industrial plasmas, and basic and astrophysical plasmas.

A first 1.5 day pilot meeting was organized as satellite to the main European Physical Society Conference on Plasma Physics in Helsinki in 2013. After this, the EPS gave the green light for organizing the First European Conference on Plasma Diagnostics, held in April 2015 in Frascati (Rome), Italy.

The ECPD will take place in alternate years with respect to the HTPD conference in the USA.
