REGISTRATION IS CLOSED Why join the PLASMAScience Summer School

We are excited to announce the first edition of the PLASMAScience Summer School, dedicated to astrophysical plasmas.

It will be held on Porquerolles Island, France, from June 23 to 29, 2024. The Summer School is a one-week, free-of-charge, training program for highly motivated PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career scientists interested in space and astrophysical plasmas.

Topics

The school will cover the physics of the intercluster medium (ICM), disks around compact objects and black holes, the interstellar medium (ISM), cosmic rays, the Sun, the solar wind and planetary magnetospheres, laboratory astrophysics, and related topics.
