RAPP Inauguration Workshop: 21-23 September 2016

In this first conference and opening ceremony of the "Ruhr Astroparticle and Plasma Physics Center" (RAPP Center), international speakers were invited to review knowledge on central questions with connection to activities within the RAPP Center. The conference started with an opening reception at the Planetarium Bochum on Wednesday evening. On Thursday and Friday, there were one and a half days of plenary-only talks with additional time for discussions. The number of participants was about 100, talks were by invitation only, each 22 Minutes long plus 3 Minutes for direct questions. In discussions about the frontiers of plasma- and particle-astrophysics, we were able to intensify the collaboration within the RAPP Center and with our international friends even further.
