ESPM-15, First Announcement

This is the first detailed announcement for the 15th European Solar Physics Meeting (ESPM-15) that will take place in Budapest (Hungary) in the period 04-08 September, 2017. The meeting will be hosted by Eotvos University, which is centrally located in Budapest.

ESPMs are organized by the Board of the European Solar Physics Division (ESPD, http://solar.epsdivision.org), a joint Division of the European Physical Society (EPS) and the European Astronomical Society (EAS).

ESPMs are held every 3 years with the purpose of bringing together researchers from Europe and beyond, who are active in the theoretical and observational study of solar phenomena.

The scientific programme of ESPM15 include the following sessions:

– Session 1. Solar Interior, Dynamo, Large-Scale Flows and the Solar Cycle
– Session 2. The Solar Atmosphere: Heating, Dynamics and Coupling
– Session 3. Fundamental Plasma Processes in the Solar Atmosphere: Magnetic Reconnection, Waves, Emission, Particle Acceleration
– Session 4. From Radio to Gamma Rays: Near-Sun Manifestations and Triggering of Solar Flares and Coronal Mass Ejections
– Session 5. Solar-Terrestrial Relations, Solar Wind, Space Weather and Space Climate

Online registration and abstract submission will open in early spring. The ESPM-15 Local and Scientific Organizing Committees are currently working to secure funding that will hopefully provide limited travel and/or local support mainly to young researchers.

Further details related to registration fees, abstract submission, accommodation, financial assistance and relevant deadlines will be circulated in a second announcement and will also be available on the meeting’s website.

We look forward to welcoming you to Budapest.
