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
