Second Announcement:
20th International EISCAT Symposium, and 15th International LPMR
Workshop (Layered Phenomena in the Mesopause Region) August 15-19, 2022
Meeting website: https://www.space.irfu.se/workshops/LPMR-EISCAT

Dear Colleagues,
the 15th International Workshop on Layered Phenomena in the Mesopause
Region (LPMR) and the 20th International EISCAT Symposium will be held
as a joint meeting in Sweden on August 15-19, 2022.
The LPMR workshop aims at advancing our understanding of mesospheric ice
clouds and related phenomena in the Earth’s mesosphere and lower
thermosphere, ranging from microphysics to the global and
solar-terrestrial processes controlling the region. The EISCAT Symposium
has its focus on incoherent scatter radar and on the
atmospheric/ionospheric science explored by this measurement method,
including the upcoming EISCAT_3D system. A goal of the joint meeting is
to bring the LPMR and EISCAT communities together, thus providing a
forum to learn more about scientific interests, recent advances and new
opportunities. The meeting will comprise both separate and combined LPMR
and EISCAT sessions.
The meeting will be held in Sundbyholm Castle at scenic Lake Mälaren,
approximately 80 km west of Stockholm. Note that the EISCAT-related
sessions will be held in a hybrid mode, thus also providing an option to
participate online.
For our planning, we very much would like you to submit a notification
of interest already now. You can specify how probable your participation
will be. Please check our Google form at

Deadlines: At your earliest convenience: Notification of interest May
15: Abstract submission May 15: Application for reduced student fees
(shared accommodation) June 1: Registration
Conference fees will be all-inclusive, covering conference costs,
accommodation, meals. excursion etc. Preliminary fees are EUR 1310 / USD
1450 for ordinary participants, EUR 710 / USD 790 for accompanying
persons, EUR 750 / USD 830 for students in shared camping cottages, EUR
290 / USD 320 for online participants (available only for EISCAT sessions).

*PITHIA-NRF Trans-National Access (TNA) 2^nd Call*
PITHIA-NRF (Plasmasphere Ionosphere Thermosphere Integrated Research
Environment and Access services: a Network of Research Facilities)
invites applications for access to a variety of research facilities for
studies and modelling of physical processes acting in the Earth’s upper
atmosphere, with support from experts within the field. There are twelve
nodes within PITHIA-NRF all dedicated to investigating the plasmasphere,
ionosphere and/or thermosphere.
The access can be *physical access* (one-week visit with travel and
accommodation included) or *remote access* (one-month remote access with
weekly support). The available services or resources are limited, and a
competitive process is required following a defined procedure and
criteria for the selection of users.
*Project opportunities:*
Information of project opportunities and description of the nodes are
available at https://pithia-nrf.eu/tna/tna-calls/second-tna-call. We
encourage any potential applicants to discuss with the relevant node
about the project before submitting their proposals. The TNA Support
Centre (tna(a)pithia-nrf.eu) at PITHIA-NRF can help establishing contact
points with the nodes.
*When?*
The call is open from *1 J**anuary**202**2* until the deadline *15
March**202**2*. The application can be submitted at any time between
these dates.
*Who?*
Access is provided for science projects to users from Academia, Small
and Medium Enterprises, Industry, and Public Organisations.
*How?*
The application should be filled in and submitted using the online form
(https://pithia-nrf.eu/forms/tna-application-form-
<https://pithia-nrf.eu/forms/tna-application-form-2>2
<https://pithia-nrf.eu/forms/tna-application-form-2>). After submission,
eligibility and feasibility checks will be performed followed by the
scientific evaluation. Follow the instructions at
https://pithia-nrf.eu/tna/tna-calls/second-tna-call.
