The 12th Potsdam Thinkshop “The Dynamic Sun – Exploring the Many Facets of Solar Eruptive Events” will take place in Potsdam (Germany)
between 26 – 29 October 2015, organized by the Leibniz-Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP).

This year the Potsdam Thinkshop will focus on erupting prominences/filaments, surges, flares, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), with the aim of bringing together instrument specialists, observers, modellers, and theorists. The goal of the meeting is to make progress towards a comprehensive description of solar eruptive events effectively aggregating their global properties as well as their highly dynamic fine structure. Thinkshop 12 takes place at the science park >>Albert Einstein<<, home to AIP’s Great Refractor and the Solar Observatory Einstein Tower at the Telegraphenberg.

Online registration and abstract submission closes on August 1st 2015.
