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 https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/esa-heliophysics/heliophysics-in-europe-2023 <https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/esa-heliophysics/heliophysics-in-europe-2023> *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 Further information can be found here: https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/esa-heliophysics/sessions <https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/esa-heliophysics/sessions> Abstract submission can be found here: https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/esa-heliophysics/abstract-submission <https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/esa-heliophysics/abstract-submission> *Registration* Registration is open (free) and abstract submission, deadline 15 September 2023. https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/esa-heliophysics/cwrt <https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/esa-heliophysics/cwrt> Kind regards Lisa Baddeley (on behalf of the SOC) ------------------------------------------------------- Assoc.
