Eleventh Coronal Loops Workshop - Second announcement

Annonce transmise par Eric Buchlin (IAS)

The 11th Coronal Loops Workshop will be held from 25-28 June 2024 in the city of San Cristobal de La Laguna (Tenerife, Spain). The Coronal Loops Workshops are a series of highly focused biennial meetings, organized since 2002. They deal with the observation and modeling of magnetically confined solar plasma.

In addition to discussions of recent progress in community driven topics that will be based on the abstracts submitted, this meeting will include sessions on three specific themes: coronal cooling, reconciling 1D vs 3D models, and high resolution observations.

The confirmed invited speakers are: Lakshmi Pradeep Chitta (Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research), Petra Kohutova (Rosseland Center for Solar Physics), Paolo Pagano (Università di Palermo), Elena Petrova (KU Leuven), Jeffrey Reep (University of Hawaii), and Seray Sahin (University of Northumbria).

The abstract submission (for talks and posters) and pre-registration will open on the 1st of March. We encourage graduate students and early-career postdocs to participate and present their research work. While abstracts are not required for participation, preference will be given to those who submit abstracts, in order to limit the number of participants to 75.

The registration fee (350 EUR, TBC) includes the workshop, a welcome reception, coffee breaks, lunches from Tuesday to Thursday, and the conference dinner on Thursday.

We are pleased to announce that a National Science Foundation (NSF) Conference Proposal was funded to support the travel costs of students and early career post-docs from different institutions across the US. Those with financial need and from under-represented groups in solar physics will be prioritized. Additional information on these NSF travel grants together with the eligibility criteria and requirements for applicants can be found on the workshop website.

The LOC aims to offer a limited number of registration fee waivers, with preference for early career researchers.

To apply for support or request further information, please send your request in an e-mail to the contact address below, with Subject including "[Fee waiver request]" or "[NSF support]", before 15 April 2024.
