Our research is organized into the four research areas listed above, and performed within Focus Groups. They have a large overlap due to the interdisciplinary nature of plasma technology.

Our research is supported to a significant extent by public funding sources. These are in detail:

• German Research Foundation (DFG)
• Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)
• German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi)
• Ministry of Economic Affairs, Innovation, Digitalisation and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (MWIDE.NRW)

The lists of ongoing and already completed DFG projects can be found here:

• GEPRIS: Chair of Electrical Engineering and Plasma Technology
• GEPRIS: Chair of Applied Electrodynamics and Plasma Technology

As part of our research, we are members of the following coordinated research initiatives of the DFG, among others:

• TRR 87 "Pulsed High Power Plasmas for the Synthesis of Nanostructured Functional Layers"
• SFB 1316 "Transient Atmospheric Plasmas - From Plasmas to Liquids to Solids"
• SFB 1461 "Neurotronics: Bio-inspired Information Pathways"
