Nominations for Fellows of the IPCS
Participants of ISPC 20 in Philadelphia became automatically member of the International Plasma Chemistry Society and are eligible to make nominations for Fellow of the International Plasma Chemistry Society. The present list of fellows can be found at Fellows of the Plasma Chemistry Society.
The title of Fellow of IPCS recognizes unusual distinction in the profession and shall be conferred by the BoD upon a person with an extraordinary record of accomplishments in the field of Plasma Chemistry. The IPCS aims at awarding the title of Fellow of IPCS to no more than three percent of its active members.
Fellows should have accomplishments that have significantly contributed to the field of Plasma Chemistry, should have been a member of IPCS for at least 10 years (i.e. attended 5 ISPCs, not necessarily consecutively), or may have a record of significant service to IPCS.
According to our policies, nominations consist of a laudatio and the support letters of two fellows.
Fellows are selected from these candidates by the board of directors at ISPC 21 in Cairns. Please send your nominations to the current IPCS president Achim von Keudell ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Plasma Chemistry Award 2013 for Prof. Michael Wertheimer
Prof. Michael Wertheimer École Polytechnique Montreal, Canada, Engineering Physics |
The plasma chemistry award 2013 will be presented to Prof. Michel Wertheimer, Ecole Polytechnique Montreal.The Plasma Chemistry Award (PCA) is the highest recognition awarded by the International Plasma Chemistry Society (IPCS) for lifetime achievements in the field of the Plasma Chemistry. The research of Michel Wertheimer focusses on the study of « cold » (non-equilibrium) plasmas, mostly for application in materials science and technology, namely for surface modification and for PECVD (« plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition »). He uses both conventional low-pressure plasmas, but also those at atmospheric pressure. In recent years, the attention has been paid upon biomedical applications, particularly on thin plasma polymer coatings destined for use in cell culture and tissue engineering.
