„INPLAS enables the exchange of experience and learning in the area of plasma coating technology, since institutional research, equipment suppliers as well as adopter / contract coating are represented here. In addition, synergies can arise as industries from different areas come together, starting with tool coating, applications in biotechnology, optics, photovoltaics, architectural glass coating, web coating, the semiconductor and display industry and many more.“

„INPLAS is the ideal network for users, manufacturers and developers/researchers of and on plasma processes and systems. The aim is to offer INPLAS members opportunities to deepen their knowledge and understanding about plasmas and their applications, to present themselves and their own contributions, to exchange ideas with other members, to jointly advance interesting topics, to generate funded projects and to generally strive for external impact.“
