1ST EPS CONFERENCE ON PLASMA DIAGNOSTICS Villa Mondragone, Frascati, Italy April 14-17, 2015 Dear Friends, and Colleagues, It is a great pleasure to invite you to the 1st EPS Conference on Plasma Diagnostics which will be held at Villa Mondragone, in Monte Porzio Catone, near Frascati, in Italy from April 14 to April 17, 2015. The conference is organized by ENEA Fusione with the cooperation of the University of Tor Vergata, Rome. EPS endorsement is still pending Villa Mondragone is a patrician villa originally in the territory of the Italian Commune of Frascati (Latium, central Italy), now in the territory of Monte Porzio Catone (Alban Hills). It lies on a hill 416m above sea-level, in an area called, from its many castles and villas, Castelli Romani about 20 km (12 mi) southeast of Rome, near the ancient town of Tusculum.

The Construction began in 1573 by Cardinal Mark Sittich von Hohenems Altemps, who commissioned the design for it and for the Palazzo Altemps in central Rome from Martino Longhi the Elder, on the site of the remains of a Roman villa of the consular family of the Quinctilii. Now it is property of the University of Tor Vergata and it is a location dedicated to conferences and scientific meetings. The scope of the EU Plasma Diagnostics Conference, which first edition will be held in Italy, is to favor cross fertilization among scientists from all areas of plasma diagnostics. We truly hope that you will join us in Italy and actively participate in the conference which will be an excellent opportunity to discuss the most important new discoveries and applications of plasma diagnostics. We look forward to welcoming you to the ECPD2015 at Villa Mondragone next April.
