H2020-SOLARNET Meeting: Sun and Society - First Announcement

On behalf of the SOC and LOC of the meeting, we are glad to announce the 1^st H2020-SOLARNET Meeting “Sun and Society” to be held at the Venice International University (Venice, Italy), 5-9 of October 2020.

The web site of the symposium is being constructed at: http://www.science-media.org/cid/solarnet5

The web site of the Venice International University (VIU) is: http://www.univiu.org/

The sessions at the Meeting will be:

• Drivers of solar activity (solar dynamo, solar cycle, magnetic flux emergence, evolution and MHD instabilities, ..)
• Solar Activity (TSI and SSI variability, flares, CMEs, SPEs, solar wind, GCRs modulation, ..)
• Sun-Earth Connection (e.g., solar variability and its influence on circumterrestrial space, space weather, geomagnetic storms, Earth’s atmosphere and climate)
• Sun, Space and Society (solar physics impact on economy and society, data for ‘civil ’society, education and outreach)
• The role of high-resolution ground-based solar astrophysics (including EST & DKIST) complemented by space solar missions (e.g., Solar Orbiter)
• Technology for solar physics (e.g., involvement of high technology industries, solar instrument criticalities, technological solutions)
