Dear Colleagues,
This is the fourth announcement for the 14th European Solar Physics Meeting (ESPM-14; http://www.espm14.ie) that will take place in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland over 8-12 September 2014. We are pleased to announce that the abstract submission, online registration and payment, and financial support applications for ESPM-14 open on Thursday 1st May 2014. Further details on each are included below.
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
Abstracts for contributed talks and posters can now be submitted through the ESPM-14 website (see http://www.espm14.ie/abstract). The abstract submission form will remain open until 23:59 CEST (21:59 UT) on Monday 16th June 2014. Please note that invited speakers are requested to *not* submit their invited talk abstracts using this form, as those invited abstracts will be solicited separately.
ONLINE REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT
ESPM-14 is recognized as an EPS Europhysics conference and therefore offers a reduced registration fee for EPS members, which compares extremely favourably with the yearly cost of an EPS membership (either 22, 44 or 66 EUR, depending upon membership of affiliated societies).
Registration and online payment is now available through the ESPM-14 website (see http://www.espm14.ie/registration). The early-bird fee rates (PhD students: 180 EUR; EPS members: 270 EUR; normal attendees: 320 EUR) will be in effect until 23:59 CEST (21:59 UT) on Monday 30th June 2014, before switching to the normal fee rates. Full details regarding deadlines for different registration fee rates are available on the ESPM-14 website (see http://www.espm14.ie/dates).
The registration fee includes attendance at the Welcome Reception (on the evening of the opening day, Monday 8th September) and the Conference Banquet (on the evening of Wednesday 10th September). During the online registration, attendees may select optional items to be included in their payment (i.e., accompanying guest(s) at the reception/banquet, conference excursions). ESPM-14 offers three conference excursion options to suit a variety of tastes. Please note, the Newgrange Neolithic Monument excursion has a limit of 45 places that will be assigned “first-come-first-served”.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
The ESPM-14 Local and Scientific Organizing Committees have secured funding to provide financial aid to a number of PhD students (and some junior post-docs from developing countries) in the form of partial accommodation and/or travel support. Applications are now solicited through the ESPM-14 website (see http://www.espm14.ie/support), with submissions accepted until 23:59 CEST (21:59 UT) on Monday 16th June. Please note, those applying for support are requested to *not* arrange accommodation until hearing the decision on their request. The financial support deadline has been chosen so that applicants will be notified well in advance of the end of registration (i.e., well before Friday 1st August 2014).
FURTHER DETAILS
Invited speakers have now been confirmed for each scientific session and are now included in the session breakdown of the scientific program (see http://www.espm14.ie/program). Additional details regarding the conference social program, travel information and links to resources about visiting Ireland and Dublin have been included in the ESPM-14 website.
We look forward to welcoming everyone to Dublin this September.
Best regards,
D. Shaun Bloomfield
(on behalf of the ESPM-14 Scientific and Local Organizing Committees)
