5th Conference on Plasma Simulation

The Conference on Plasma Simulation (CPS) is a premier forum dedicated to advancing computational plasma physics, uniting research on plasma sources and processes in both space and laboratory environments. Since its inception at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru in 2018, CPS has become a biennial platform where theory, computation, and experimentation converge to drive innovation.

Now, in 2026, CPS enters an exciting new chapter as it will be jointly hosted by IPS Academy, Indore, and IIT Indore, bringing the conference to the heart of Central India. This edition promises to be bigger and more impactful, uniting the plasma community at a location that blends scientific vibrancy with cultural heritage.

With India's rapid progress in space exploration, fusion research, and plasma-based technologies, simulations now play a central role in optimizing technological plasmas, reducing costly experiments, and unlocking parameters that are otherwise difficult to access. By focusing on cutting-edge modeling techniques, CPS not only accelerates academic discovery but also enables transformative industrial applications, making it a cornerstone in shaping the future of plasma science and technology.
