“Laser-Induced Plasma Applications – Tbilisi 2025” – Japan–Georgia–Europe International Workshop/Conference at GTU
02-10-2025
With support from the International Science and Technology Center, the Embassy of Japan in Georgia, Georgian Technical University, and the European Union COST Program project “Proton-Boron Nuclear Fusion,” the Japan-Georgia-Europe International Workshop/Conference – “On the Physics and Technology of Laser-Induced Plasma for Green Energy and Biomedical Applications – Laser Plasma Applications, Tbilisi 2025” was opened at Georgian Technical University.
The aim of the event is to discuss the latest research on laser-induced plasma in the direction of green energy and biomedicine, as well as to strengthen scientific and technological cooperation between Japan, Georgia, and European countries.
The conference will bring together scientists, researchers, and experts from Georgia, Japan, France, Italy, Germany, the USA, and Poland. The forum will last three days.
Professor Tamar Tsereteli, Vice-Rector of Georgian Technical University, opened the event by highlighting that the main topics of the conference are obtaining nanostructured materials and determining their characteristics using modern laser plasma technologies.
According to the Vice-Rector, “Laser-Induced Plasma Applications - Tbilisi 2025” continues the tradition of Japanese-European scientific forums, which were held in various European cities in the past and were last held in Batumi. According to her assessment, this is the beginning of a new cycle of international meetings, which aims to promote joint scientific projects, inspire young researchers, and unite the global scientific community around the common mission of sustainable energy and healthcare development.
“Laser-induced plasma is no longer considered just a challenge in fundamental physics. It is perceived as the beginning of a new stage in modern science and technology. The use of plasma allows us to create completely new materials, increase their efficiency, and simplify the synthesis of complex structures at the atomic and nanoscale. The scientific papers presented at the conference focus on the production and properties of nanostructured materials, where 2D and 3D systems, including silicon-graphene composites, offer revolutionary opportunities for the development of this direction. In the future, these materials will set new standards for the efficiency of solar cells, will become the basis for the development of spintronics and quantum technologies, and will lead to the transformation of electronics and energy. At the conference, we will also discuss laser deposition techniques, which allow us to obtain high-purity, multilayer structures - essential components in both the energy and biomedical fields.
As for energy, laser-guided nuclear fusion is no longer just a distant prospect. Our task is not only to deeply study the physical mechanisms, but also to establish the technological paths that will lead to the creation of a reactor. In addition to energy, the use of plasma also plays a crucial role in biomedicine. We will discuss innovative spectroscopic Raman, IR, UV, and SFG methods that allow for the rapid identification of pathogens, the creation of nanostructured biosensors, and the introduction of laser approaches in nuclear medicine. “Laser-Induced Plasma Applications - Tbilisi 2025” is not a one-time meeting. This continues the Japanese-European scientific tradition and, at the same time, is the beginning of a new international collaboration aimed at strengthening joint research with the participation of young researchers and consolidating the scientific community. It is a great honor for us to host the world’s leading scientists at the Georgian Technical University in Tbilisi, whose experience and vision play an important role in solving the global challenges of sustainable energy and biomedicine. I am confident that the results of this meeting will significantly contribute to the formation of innovative paths and strengthen the positioning of Georgian science in the international space,” said Tamar Tsereteli.
