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.

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.
