Workshop on FAIR Data in Plasma Science (FDPS-IV)

The 4^th Workshop on FAIR Data in Plasma Science (FDPS-IV) took place online and in-person on 12-13 May, 2025 at the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) in Greifswald, Germany. The workshop continued a series of annual events on research data management in the low-temperature plasma (LTP) community, with the aim of highlighting current developments and strengthening exchange within the community on this topic.

The workshop provided an overview over successful solutions for collaborative research data management with the goal to make data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR), finally supporting the broader use of data-driven research methods. This included best practice in day-to-day research work as well as infrastructure tools for handling of research data. Successful examples from plasma research groups and collaborative research centers were presented and we discussed the further development of data sharing and reporting standards for the LTP community.
