***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.

[Plasmas – Les Houches 2023] Doctoral Training School, May 1 – 12, 2023: DEADLINE JAN 20th

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!

STFC Introduction to Solar and Solar-Terrestrial Physics

Dear All

We are excited to announce that Northumbria University will play host for the STFC Introduction to Solar and Solar Terrestrial Physics Summer School.

Whilst we organise the programme, we would like to encourage all students who have either started their PhD since the last summer school or who will be joining our community in September/October, or indeed any other interested parties, to register interest below, to be held 21-26 August 2022 at Northumbria University in Newcastle.  A website will be created shortly but in summary:

  • This school is free to attend for all STFC students, but we also offer places for non-STFC students at cost so please get in touch if you would like to come but are not STFC funded
  • STFC has also given us funds to support those with caring or other responsibilities to ease difficulties in attending residential courses – please get in touch if this applies to you!

Please could you circulate the link to your students, colleagues and collaborators and encourage prospective attendees to fill it in by 30th June so that we can start to plan for numbers

Registration deadline (31 March) for the Solar Orbiter school 2022 in Sète (France)

This is a reminder that the Solar Orbiter school will be held in Sète (France) from May 30th to June 3rd 2022.
*Deadline for the registration is on March 31st. *

*Overview and objectives*:

The exploitation of the ESA Solar Orbiter mission will shape the activity of the international heliophysics community for the years to come. Its success will depend on our ability to combine in situ and remote sensing data. This school, to be held in on the Mediterranean coast town of Sète, will provide training to young scientists in using the extremely various datasets and the tools specifically developed to analyze them. It targets an international audience primarily composed of PhD students and junior postdoctoral researchers.

It will provide short presentations of the mission instruments and first results, hands-on activities for data analyses, as well as sessions for presentation by students. The school is organised by the French community, but is open to everyone.

*Registration*:

Registrations will be open until March 31st when we will reassess the situation regarding the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. If the school is maintained at this point in time, successful applicants will be notified early April.

STFC Introductory Course in Solar and Solar-Terrestrial Physics 2021


REGISTRATION NOW OPEN

This year’s Summer School is provisionally planned to be held in-person at Durham University from the 22nd to the 27th of August. However, if the government’s easing of restrictions between now and then changes so that an in-person meeting is not deemed sensible, then the school will instead be held online. The final decision on this will be made by the 30th of June.

To register, please visit:
https://www.maths.dur.ac.uk/~trcn27/registration

Registration is free for all STFC funded students. Non-STFC students will be subject to a registration fee and should consult the webpage above for more details.

The Summer School is intended as an introduction to solar physics and solar-terrestrial interactions, aimed at PhD students starting in Autumn 2021. The 5-day course will consist of a number of lectures delivered by experts from across the UK. The lectures will cover a range of topics, from a general introduction to Plasma Physics to more specialised areas such as magnetic topology. In addition to the core lectures there will a careers Q&A, a session on surviving a PhD, an interactive introduction to Python/SunPy and a conference dinner on the Thursday evening. Accommodation for students during the week will be in one of Durham’s colleges.

Preliminary details of the programme may be found at:
