The Workshop will be held at three adjacent sites:
1. All the Plenary talks (50 min. + 10 min. Q&A), and most of the Invited Talks (30 min. + 10 min. Q&A) will be at the Marcos Moshinsky Auditorium of the Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM (ICN). On Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons there will also be oral presentations (15 min. +5 min. Q&A).
2. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons, there will be simultaneous sessions, basically on plasma sources and their applications at the Auditorium of the Instituto de Investigaciones en Materiales, UNAM (IIM)(3 min. walk from the ICN). Oral presentations will be 15 min. + 5 min. Q&A.
3. On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons there will be Special Talks (50 min. + 10 min. Q&A) for an open audience at the Graef Fernández Auditorium of the Amoxcalli building of the Facultad de Ciencias, UNAM (FC)(10 min. walk from the ICN), followed by Poster Sessions at the lobby. The size of the boards for the posters is 2.10 m high X 1.20 m wide.
