Invitation for proposals to host the 8th Solar Coronal Loops Workshop

Dear Colleagues,

The Coronal Loops Workshop series, inaugurated in Paris (2002), has been tremendously successful in bringing together researchers from all over the world to discuss current problems related to the physics of closed magnetic structures in the solar corona, and to present their progress toward solving them. The Workshops have also provided an excellent forum for young researchers to participate in discussions and to showcase their work.

The Steering Committee for the Coronal Loops Workshops now invites proposals to host the 8th Workshop in the series, which will be convened in 2017.

Letters of intent to submit a proposal are due on May 13th and full proposals on June 3rd.

Proposals should be no more than 3 pages in length and must include:

• A description of the proposed location (including accessibility from major transport hubs).
• The preferred dates, avoiding conflicts with other major community meetings in 2017.
(e.g. EGU [Apr. 23-28]; Hinode/IRIS [May 30-Jun. 2]; AOGS [Aug. 6-11]; AAS/SPD [Aug. 21-26]; ESPM-15 [Sept.])
• A description of the venue, meeting room, and facilities.
• An overview of the local accommodation and dining options.
• Transport between the accommodation and the workshop venue (e.g. a walk, bus ride, etc).
• An estimate of the total cost of the workshop.
• An estimate of the registration fee (assuming 60 participants).
• Who will Chair the SOC/LOC?
• Any other comments that you think would be helpful to the Steering Committee in support of your proposal.

Please send letters of intent, full proposals, and requests for a copy of the Workshop Guidelines, to Steve Bradshaw (Steering Committee Chair: stephen.bradshaw@rice.edu).

With best wishes,

Steve Bradshaw

Hinode 10 conference

Hinode-10 Science Meeting & SOLAR-C Science Meeting (first announcement)

Date:
・Hinode-10 Science Meeting, Sep 5-8, 2016
・SOLAR-C Science Meeting, Sep 9, 2016

Venue:
Sakata & Hirata Hall (Science South Building), Nagoya University (Higashiyama Campus), Nagoya, Japan

Hinode-10 Science Meeting and SOLAR-C Science Meeting will be held at Nagoya University, Japan from September 5 through 9, 2016. In this meeting, the tenth anniversary of the launch of Hinode will be commemorated, and the great achievement of Hinode will be summarized. Also the advancement of solar physics in the decade to come will be discussed. The meeting is centered more on review talks than previous meetings, but nevertheless, we also encourage participants to present the newest research results as contributed talks. After the four-day Hinode meeting, a SOLAR-C meeting will be organized (participation open to everyone), in order to prepare for the mission proposal jointly planned by JAXA, NASA and ESA.

The website and the registration site of Hinode-10 Science Meeting & SOLAR-C Science Meeting is now open at
http://hinode.stelab.nagoya-u.ac.jp/Hinode10/

Important dates:
June 17: Deadline for abstract submission
June 17: Deadline for financial support (open on April 15)
July 31: Deadline for early-bird/online registration… continue to the full article
