Abstract:
Plasma technologies are largely used in various modern sectors of research, industry, medicine, biology and environmental protection. They are clean, non-expensive, and easy to be adapted to small-scale production. At the present time a pressure to transfer the knowledge from education and research sectors toward the industrial ones was established by the financing policies at national and European levels. Nevertheless, mainly in the last decade, an informational gap set-up in Romania between the suppliers of know-how in the plasma technologies and their beneficiaries. The new appearing companies have little knowledge about the possibilities of our research and education. In turn, the research and education units do not know what companies are using nowadays plasma technologies, what kinds of technologies are needed and what aspects should be stressed in educational activity. The Information and Consulting Center in Plasma Technologies is an infrastructure project aiming to fill up the above-mentioned gap. It is seen as an organizational structure gathering information and expertise in plasma technologies. The expertise in plasma technologies will be web available and will consist of examples and programs concerning plasma generation and diagnostics: programs for stting-up computer control plasma systems, description of spectral diagnostics including programs for obtaining the rotational and vibrational temperatures, programs for calculating electron temperatures and densities from probe measurements, description of the most important plasma techniques for thin films deposition. The information will be organized in a database containing data about the suppliers and beneficiaries of know-how in the education, research and plasma technology with links to the important international research institutes and universities and to companies specialized in plasma related equipment production.
