Plasmas, these states of matter comprised of charged particles, play a pivotal role in a diverse array of industrial and scientific applications. These applications span from cleaning and material deposition to space propulsion and nuclear fusion, encompassing the study of the ionosphere, interplanetary environments, and astrophysical plasmas. Due to their electrical conductivity, plasmas interact with electric and magnetic fields in numerous ways. Electromagnetic waves can be harnessed to both generate and study plasmas, but conversely, plasmas can also serve as versatile tools for creating waves with appropriate characteristics.

The URSI-France 2024 workshop, organized under the auspices of the French Academy of Sciences, will focus on "Waves Serving Plasmas, Plasmas Serving Waves". It will be structured around oral and poster sessions. Most of the sessions will be introduced by keynotes and guest speakers, presenting the state of the art and/or recent developments, followed by papers selected by the scientific committee.

The workshop aims to bring together researchers (from academia and industry) under the following topics:

• Generation of plasmas by microwaves/RF waves
• Plasma heating
• Innovative instrumentation
• Wave diagnostics
• Modeling and simulation of wave/plasma interactions
• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
• Other wave/plasma/wave interactions

URSI-France 2024 workshop will take place on Tuesday, March 26 and Wednesday, March 27 at the International Conference Center, Sorbonne University, Pierre et Marie Curie Campus (Paris 5th), Barre 44-45 / 1st floor, room 108 (access by Tower 44).

URSI-France, applying the URSI policy of support to women in radio science, warmly encourages them to highlight their works in the context of JS 2024.
