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.

Dear Colleagues,

Just a reminder that the deadlines for registration for NAM2023 are fast approaching. June 5th is the deadline for those who are giving a talk or poster and June 16th is the deadline for general registration. To register, go to the conference website https://nam2023.org. This year we have six parallel sessions, three two-day conferences within NAM on the theme of origins, a large outreach program (public talks, art competition, outreach evening), as well as many social events. You can view the full session program here: https://nam2023.org/science/parallel-sessions

Summer School on Collisionless Shocks in Space
August 21-25, 2023, Lapland Hotel, Sirkantahti, Levi, Lapland, Finland

We are pleased to announce the Summer School for undergraduate and graduate students on Collisionless Shocks in Space, which will be held in LAPLAND HOTEL SIRKANTÄHTI, LEVI, LAPLAND, FINLAND, on August 21-25, 2023.

The plan is to have lectures and hands-on activities with various data on Collisionless Shocks.

Travel support for students will be provided via the EU funded project SHARP (SHocks: structure, AcceleRation, dissiPation, sharp.fmi.fi).

For planning financial support, prospective participants are asked to express their interest as soon as possible by sending an email to

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/.

Looking forward to seeing you!
The organizing committee.… continue to the full article
