Plasma Thin film International Union Meeting

22-26 September 2025 /
Antibes, French Riviera 

The PLAsma THIN film International Union Meeting (PLATHINIUM) is a biennial scientific meeting providing a forum for the exchange of scientific information in the fields of low-temperature plasmas and thin films, providing tutorials for students, and creating synergies between the academia, science and industry. It was created in 2019, from combining the former conferences CIP, ITFPC and MIATEC, and is now on its 4th edition. Areas of emphasis include thin films and coatings in microelectronics, automotive, and aeronautics industries, as well as plasmas, thin films and nanostructures used in environmental, energy, biomedical and agricultural applications. 

PLATHINIUM 2025 will be held in Antibes, September 22-26, and will continue the tradition of being a leading venue for the advancement of low temperature plasmas and thin film science and technology. 

The 2025 scientific topics are as follows:

• AMELI / Plasma and/in liquids interaction: fundamentals and applications, plasmas for agriculture, bio-medicine, environment, green chemistry
• DEPOS / Plasma-assisted deposition, coatings and layers: fabrication process, characterizations, optical, electrical, tribological, catalytic and others applications
• GROM / Thin film growth and modelling (for plasma and others processes) including new data science and artificial intelligence approaches
• ITEC / Innovative applications, solutions and technologies (industrial, startup)
• MODIDD / Modelling, diagnostics  and data-driven optimization of plasma processes: plasma modelling, processing, and diagnostics (optical, electrical, and laser-based diagnostic techniques and innovative data processing approaches (artificial intelligence, large language models (LLM), and digital twins) for low and high-pressure plasmas, as well as laser-produced plasmas and various discharge types (DC, RF, MW, DBD)
• NANO / Plasma nanotechnologies: nanomaterials, nanostructured thin films, dusty and misty plasmas, nucleation and growth...
• PSURF / Plasma surface processing,  plasma etching, atomic layer processing, surface nanostructuration, surface functionnalization

The deadline for abstract submission is the 14th of February, 2025.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at Antibes!
