Dear Colleague,
The Dynamic Sun III meeting is postponed to December 2021. The new calendar of important dates will be announced later. For updates, please consult the conference website: http://pdg.group.shef.ac.uk/Conferences/Chile_2020/index.html

Abstracts are now open for the RAS specialist discussion meeting entitled ”Modelling and observing the lower solar atmosphere: new solutions to old problems” on 13th November 2020, beginning at 10:30 UTC. The meeting will be held online, and is open to all scientists. Registration is required and is free for RAS members, and £5 for non-members.
This year, numerous telescopes and cutting-edge instruments are seeing first light as well as satellites being launched that will observe the solar photosphere, chromosphere, and transition region with unparalleled spatial, temporal, and spectral resolution. In this session, observational discoveries will be simultaneously compared to, and contrasted with, the latest breakthroughs from numerical models of the chromosphere.
Specifically, the following issues will be addressed:
1) Advances in instrumentation for observing the lower solar atmosphere.
2) New insights from numerical modelling and observations of chromospheric features such as fibrils, spicules, jets, Ellerman bombs, and flares, as well as the energy transported via particles and waves in such features.
3) The transport of energy between the chromosphere and the photosphere or corona, and how new discoveries alter our understanding of the fundamental energy budgets of the solar atmosphere.
The goals are the dissemination of new ideas and addressing ongoing debates informed by the latest information.
Abstract submission is now open until 15th October. Please email your abstracts to b.snow_at_exeter. ac.uk (replace _at_ with the @ symbol) with the email title of ‘RAS Discussion Meeting’

The European Astronomical Society Annual Meeting, previously known as the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science (EWASS) will take place in Leiden, the Netherlands, on 28 June – 2 July 2021. The meeting is organized by the European Astronomical Society (EAS), in collaboration with the Royal Dutch Astronomical Society (KNA).
The call for special sessions is now open and I would like to encourage you to consider submitting a solar physics session:

The deadline for session proposals is 30 Sept.

Following the preliminary announcement https://www.uksolphys.org/conference/online-advanced-study-program-on-helicities-in-astrophysics-and-beyond/ we are organizing the Online Advanced Study Program on Helicities in Astrophysics and Beyond.
We aim for not just an online replacement of traditional off-line meetings such as Helicity Thinkshops but more flexible communication involving rather broader community, by scientific interests, age, geographic coverage and experience in science, which would never physically gather for a traditional off-line focus event. The format of this activity is seen as a flexible communication platform rather than just a handful of meetings, so a wide bunch of scientists and students can optionally attend, participate and communicate with each other.
The proposed schedule of the Program will be spread over approximately 8 weeks between September through November/December 2020 with one or two sessions per week. Each session can be formed of either one 60+ minute talk, or two 30-40 minute talks with complementary discussion. We expect at least 15-20 presentations of various formats over the Program. The timing of each session can be arranged by convenience of the speaker and the community with account of their time zones. Afterwards, the lecture materials, such as podcasts, presentations files (at least brief) may be published fully or partly online. If you would like to give a talk, please contact the Scientific Program Committee (SPC) by email helicityprogram@gmail.com.
The first 90-min session is planned on Friday 25 September starting at 13:00UTC. The Program will start with 60 min talk by Dr David MacTaggart (Glasgow, UK) “Magnetic winding – a key to unlocking topological complexity in flux emergence”, then followed at 14:00 UTC by Dr Julia Thalmann (Graz, Austria) “Magnetic helicity as indicator for solar eruptivity”.
The information about the Program and updates will be posted on https://www.izmiran.ru/helicity2020/.
If you are interested please register at https://helicity2020.izmiran.ru. There will be information about the forthcoming events and access details sent around to registered participants.
