Dear Colleagues,
I would like to draw people’s attention to the following workshop. I
think this is an excellent opportunity for the ground based community to
make our voices heard in the larger ESA community. This is particularly
relevant with EISCAT-3D coming online and all the relevant
infrastructure and projects associated with it.
“*Heliophysics in Europe*” Workshop
Monday 30 October - Friday 3 November 2023
ESA ESTEC – Noordwijk, Netherlands (online participation possible,
although physical attendance is recommended)
Registration deadline: 15^th September

*Meeting Overview*
Heliophysics (including space weather) encompasses space plasma physics
throughout the solar system, from Sun to the solar wind, planets
(including the Earth) and small bodies.
Heliophysics has a large and active international community, with
significant expertise and heritage in the European Space Agency and Europe.
The ESA Heliophysics Working Group acts as a focus for discussion,
inside ESA, of the scientific interests of the Heliophysics community,
including the European ground-based community and data archiving activities.
The ESA Heliophysics Working Group has organised the meeting
‘*Heliophysics in Europe’*to improve communication between the European
Heliophysics community and the various ESA directorates involved. The
meeting will highlight opportunities existing in those directorates, but
also look to identify synergies spanning directorates and possible
future coordination efforts.
Areas of mutual interest already identified include archiving, data
formats and discoverability, as well as improved connection to the
modelling and ground-based community.
The focus will not be on specific missions, or regions or bodies in the
solar system, but in terms of Heliophysics phenomena and processes that
cut across ESA. This will allow better connection of all parts of the
Heliophysics community (as described above) to all relevant parts of ESA
and vice versa.
*Session information*
The meeting will be split into the following sessions, each with
dedicated discussion sections and posters.
Session 1: ESA Heliophysics activities
Session 2: Building Bridges in Heliophysics: open questions, missing
observations, measurements, models, and investigative techniques
Session 3: Building a European Heliophysics network and community hub
Session 4: Workshop Reporting, Summary, SWOT discussion and next steps

Dear all
We are delighted to announce an upcoming talk by EISCAT, an esteemed
science community renowned for their extensive utilization of EGI services.
On the 28th of June, we have the privilege of hosting Dr. Maria Mihalikova
from the EISCAT science association, who will be presenting an intriguing
session on the integration of EGI services within the development of EISCAT
tools.
This talk is an invaluable opportunity to delve into the world of
cutting-edge scientific tools and gain insights from the experts
themselves. Dr. Maria Mihalikova brings a wealth of knowledge and
experience, making this event an absolute must-attend for anyone interested
in the intersection of EGI services and advanced scientific research.
Make sure to register for this captivating session and mark your calendar.
By joining us, you'll have the chance to not only hear from Dr. Maria
Mihalikova but also engage with the experts directly and inquire about
their invaluable experiences. Don't miss out on this unique occasion to

Title
Access to the EISCAT tools with help of EGI checkin
Date & Time
Wednesday, 28th June 2023 |14:00 -15:00 CEST
Description
The present era of rapid technological advances creates a challenge for
data providers and scientists to create and maintain FAIR data and services
not just for future operations but also for historical data gathered and
analysed with technologies that are slowly phasing out of their usage.
GUISDAP is an open-source software package, written in MATLAB, C and
Fortran and provided and maintained by EISCAT, for analysis and
visualisation of its incoherent scatter radar data as well as for some
other radars in the world. One way how to preserve GUISDAP operability and
accessibility by the user community is to make it accessible through a
Jupyter notebook docker deployment through EISCAT resources and in the
frame of an EOSC project. This will help to ensure the FAIRness of EISCAT
data by providing tools for reanalysis and visualisation that will be
accessible by any potential EISCAT user with the help of EGI check-in
technology.

Dear Colleagues,
Due to some cancellations, there are still a few places left in the International EISCAT Radar School (Mon-Fri 14-18 August 2023 at Kilpisjärvi, Finland) and the registration page will now stay open until the places are taken: https://www.sgo.fi/Events/RS2023/
This year, the EISCAT Scientific Association plans to take the new phased-array EISCAT_3D radar into use gradually: the transmit-receive site in Skibotn, Norway, and the remote receiver sites at Kaiseniemi (Sweden) and Karesuvanto (Finland) are being deployed since last autumn.
Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory (SGO) in close collaboration with EISCAT, will run a training course for new users of the EISCAT radars, from 14th to 19th August 2023 (Monday to Saturday): The International EISCAT Radar School will be held at Kilpisjärvi, Finland, close to the Skibotn site in Norway.
For more information please visit https://www.sgo.fi/Events/RS2023/. Prices are updated and draft lecture timetable are now on-line. Please note that we do not provide funding for individual participants, all our funding goes into making the school as low-cost as possible for everyone.
Please forward this message to anyone you might think is interested. Thank you!
All the best from Sodankylä,
Thomas Ulich
