1st European Solar Physics Division (ESPD) summer school: Energisation and heating in the solar plasma

We are pleased to announce the 1st European Solar Physics Division (ESPD) summer school organised in the period 29 April – 3 May 2024 in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The theme of the school is revolving around “Energisation and heating in the solar plasma”, outlining the mechanisms which may operate to heat the solar corona, produce and accelerate the solar wind, and drive the energetic transient events observed in the solar atmosphere, such as flares and coronal mass ejections.

The School will consist of a series of lectures delivered by eminent experts in their fields, as well as a number of hands-on sessions concentrating on modern tools for data and image processing such as JHelioviewer, SunPy and Machine Learning for solar data analysis.

The School is aimed at mid-advanced level PhD students and young researchers. Given the particularity of the venue, the number of attending students will be limited to 40-45 students and we will operate a first come-first served policy.

The applications will open January 1st 2024 and the submission deadline is February 15th, 2024.

Reminder: Registration for STFC Introductory Course in Solar and Solar-Terrestrial Physics

This is a reminder to encourage your new PhD students in our field (especially those funded by STFC) to register for the “STFC Introductory Course in Solar and Solar-Terrestrial Physics 2023”, which will be hosted by the Solar and Magnetospheric Theory Group, University of St Andrews, from 21 – 25 August.

We need to confirm participation numbers, at leat approximately, with our University Conference Service Team by Monday 3 July 2023. While registration will remain open, we are not able to guarantee University accommodation too far beyond that date.

For information and to register, PhD students should visit the Course’s webpage https://solar-mcs.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/stfc-introductory-course-in-solar-and-solar-terrestrial-physics/.

For enquiries please email stfc-summer-school@st-andrews.ac.uk.

***Final Reminder***-SOLARNET Summer School ‘Solar atmospheric dynamics – From waves to instabilities and jets’

Dear Colleagues,

The registration is now open until March 17, 2023 for the SOLARNET Summer School ‘Solar atmospheric dynamics – From waves to instabilities and jets’ to be held between June 25 –30, 2023 at GSO (Gyula Bay Zoltan Solar Observatory) Gyula, Hungary.

The aim of this School is to update early-stage researchers (e.g. PhD students and PDRAs) on the latest advances made in observations, theory and numerical modelling of solar atmospheric dynamics. With the availability yielded by new instrument suits both in space and on the ground, solar theory is now more challenging to explore solar magnetism from the photosphere to the low corona at yet unforeseen small spatial, temporal and spectral scales.

During the School, on-site practice of taking daily solar synoptic data and their analysis will also be carried out at the Gyula Bay Zoltan Solar Observatory (GSO, http://hspf.eu/building.html) with their Solar Activity Magnetic Monitor (SAMM) magneto-optical filter (MOF, http://hspf.eu/telescope.html) facility in order to offer the students a direct and real experience of working with solar data.

Accommodation for selected participants will be fully covered by the School. Information on the registration process, travel, venue and accommodation is available at:
https://solarnet-project.eu/solar-waves-jets-instabilities

SOLARNET, including the current School, has received funding from European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 824135.

Applications are closing soon (January 20th) for the 2023 doctoral training school on “Plasmas in extreme environments: from astrophysics to the laboratory” that will take place from May 1st to May 12, 2023, in Les Houches, France.

This doctoral training is the 6th session in a series organized at l’Ecole de Physique des Houches since 2011. It is intended as an 11 day long doctoral training program on plasma physics. It will cover the basics of the theory and simulation of plasmas. Space, astrophysical as well as laboratory plasmas will be considered with a special emphasis on the timely topic of plasmas under extreme conditions as found e.g. in the interior of planets, in the most violent astrophysical environments, or created using extreme-light lasers.

The school is intended for PhD students, highly motivated Master students and young postdocs.
All information on the school and how to apply can be found here: https://web.luli.polytechnique.fr/PlasmaLesHouches2023/.
