[3] ISEST-2015 Workshop, 26-30 October 2015, National Autonomous University, Mexico City, Mexico

Dear all,

Please be reminded to register for the ISEST-2015 workshop in your early convenience. The registration deadline is postponed to August 10. The deadline for financial support
is now August 1.

Here is the second announcement.

The International Study of Earth-Affecting Solar Transients (ISEST)/MiniMax Workshop is aimed at bringing together scientists from different countries to interact and establish collaboration links that can effectively address the physical mechanisms of the origin, propagation, and Earth impact of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and other transient events. The ultimate goal is to develop the capability to predict the arrival of solar transients at Earth and their potential Space Weather consequences. ISEST/MiniMax is one of the four projects under the SCOSTEP http://www.yorku.ca/scostep/ scientific program VarSITI (Variability of the Sun and Its Terrestrial Impact) http://varsiti.org/ that runs from 2014 to 2018. The workshop coordinates international activity in observation, theory and modeling, and involves scientists from both developed and developing countries. The workshop also provides an online platform for research and educational opportunities for students.

The workshop will have sessions relevant to the seven ISEST/MiniMax working groups: (1) data, (2) theory, (3) simulation, (4) event campaign, (5) Bs challenge, (6) Solar Energetic Particles, and (7) MiniMax campaign.

If you are interested in attending this workshop in Mexico City, please register at http://cintli.geofisica.unam.mx/congreso by August 10, 2015 (registration fee will be collected on-site). You are also welcome to participate online through http://solar.gmu.edu/heliophysics/index.php/Main_Page. A limited financial support is available to graduate students and young researchers. This support comprises only the local hotel cost and the registration fee. Please send an email along with your CV and tentative abstract to Alejandro Lara (alara.unam[at]gmail.com) before August 01, 2015 to apply for this financial support. The deadline of abstract submission is September 10, 2015.
