On the 7th of September 2018 the one day workshop “Dundee Numerical Methods in MHD” will be held at the University of Dundee.

The aim of the meeting is to bring together scientists who use numerical methods in their research in MHD and scientists who have developed or analysed numerical methods in MHD. The relatively small scale of the event (five talks) will provide an atmosphere conducive to informal interaction between users, developers and analysts. Ample time for discussions will be included in the schedule.

The workshop is is part of the Scottish Numerical Methods Network (http://www.maths.dundee.ac.uk/aathanassoulis/Network2018.html), co-organised by G. Barrenechea (Strathclyde), B. Goddard (Edinburgh) and A. Athanassoulis (Dundee). The Network encompasses the whole spectrum of theory and practice of numerical methods, ranging from theoretical numerical analysis all the way to applications.

We would like to announce the upcoming RAS discussion meeting titled ‘Recent Advances on Solar Partially Ionised Plasma’ to be held at Burlington House on 11th January 2019. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss at current, and future, observations and models used to investigate solar partially ionised plasma, and how they are developing our understanding of the dynamic phenomena that occur in the solar atmosphere. Full details of the meeting can be found at the following website: blogs.exeter.ac.uk/rasdiscussion/

The meeting will consist of two invited talks and a collection of contributed talks and posters. We have two excellent invited speakers: Elena Khomenko (Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias) and Roberto Soler (Universitat de les Illes Balears). Information on the procedure to submit abstracts for both oral and poster presentations are on the website. The deadline for oral talk submissions is the 16th November.

Many Thanks,
Andrew Hillier (University of Exeter)
Alex Russell (University of Dundee)
