Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the Action, the training school was organized to disseminate specific aspects of cold plasma technology broadly. Experts from all scientific fields gave training lectures to transfer knowledge between researchers and different scientific fields. They also introduce PhD students and ECIs with fundamental aspects of cold plasma technology with different viewpoints.

The main focus of the school was the state-of-the-art in the field of plasma agriculture. The trainees had the opportunity to be acquainted with the latest accomplishments presented at such a level that trainees from different fields (sciences) could obtain basic knowledge.

Due to the nature of the hybrid event accessible for all participants, the First Training School was an ideal opportunity to provide general introductions of the cold plasma technology to participants. Finally, on-spot attendees from the neighbouring state Republic of Serbia and host state Bosnia and Herzegovina physically participated at the venue. The total number of registered participants was 278, of which 123 with a PhD.
