- Invitation to STFC’s Astronomy Consolidated Grant Community Consultation – Registration OpenGood Afternoon, STFC invites you to join it for a consultation to canvass the Astronomy community’s views on proposed changes to/a replacement of the current Consolidated Grant (CG) scheme. The meeting will take place on Monday 13th June 2022 from 1pm to 4.30pm (to include a short refreshment break). This follows on from STFC’s review of CGs which reported to its Science Board a while ago and reflects the desire to implement a more flexible and appropriate way to deliver funding for astronomy research grants, within the UKRI environment. The current plan only affects Astronomy grants. The hope is to have a new scheme in place for the 2023 grants round. Professor Jim Wild, who chaired STFC’s CG Review Implementation Panel, will be presenting and leading the discussion. He will be joined by panellists Professor Lyndsay Fletcher (current AGP Chair) and Professor Mark Sullivan (current AGP deputy), along with representatives from STFC. There will be a presentation of the options under consideration and time for a Q&A session. This is a hybrid meeting. The in-person element will be hosted by UCL (25 Gordon Street, E28 Harrie Massey Lecture Theatre, London, WC1H 0AY ). As there will be limited places for in-person attendance please do not sign up more than one attendee from your research organisation or department (we will inform people if there are additional spaces available).There will be no limit on the number of online attendees. If you are attending online a zoom link will be sent to you post-registration.

- Solar Wind 16 meeting in 2023After a two-year delay occasioned by the COVID-19 situation, we’re pleased to announce a ‘save-the-date’ for the Solar Wind 16 (SW16) meeting. SW16 will convene the week of June 12, 2023 at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, California. Asilomar was the venue for the Solar Wind 2 and 3 meetings, in 1971 and 1974 respectively. Now, 50 years later, with measurements from Parker Solar Probe, Solar Orbiter, DKIST, and other assets we hope to reprise the excitement and enthusiasm of those early meetings. More details, a meeting website, and registration/abstracts milestones will follow soon. Please mark your calendars. Stuart D. Bale (bale@berkeley.edu) for the SW16 SOC and LOC.
- Solar Physics High Energy Research (SPHERE) Workshop — 11–15 July 2022 — Boulder, CO, USA + Windisch, CH + onlineThe Solar Physics High Energy Research (SPHERE) Workshop — formerly known as the RHESSI workshop, and now motivated by SolO/STIX, MinXSS, EOVSA, and many other current and upcoming missions — will be held 11–15 July 2022. The workshop will be a hybrid format with online access and two in-person locations: Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in Boulder, Colorado, USA and Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz (FHNW) in Windisch, Switzerland. The workshop agenda will include plenary topical sessions, held jointly between all locations, featuring invited talks and facilitated, open discussions on targeted science questions. This interactive format is intended to foster both broader and deeper collaboration and understanding amongst our community, to propel progress and enhance success by breaking down silos both within the high-energy solar physics and among solar and space physics in general. Additional independent morning (EU) and afternoon (US) sessions will feature tutorials, posters, early-career talks, and open collaboration. Registration is required, and U.S. hotel accommodations (for the contract hotel) will be handled through the registration form. Abstracts for posters and early-career presentations, and suggestions for open topical discussions, will be solicited soon. The workshop website at https://sphere.boulder.swri.edu is operational with preliminary information, including travel information, and will be updated soon with registration information and deadlines. We hope to see you soon in Boulder, Windisch, or online! – Amir Caspi & Säm Krucker, on behalf of the organizing committee
