Subject: International Study of Earth-Affecting Solar

Transients (ISEST) Workshop in Jeju, South Korea, September 18 - 22, 2017. The

First Annoucement

The

International Study of Earth-Affecting Solar Transients (ISEST) Workshop is

aimed at bringing together scientists from different countries to interact and

establish collaborative links that can effectively address the physical

mechanisms regarding the origin, propagation, and Earth impact of coronal mass

ejections (CMEs) and other transient events. The ISEST-2017 workshop is the

latest of a series of workshops organized by the ISEST project, which is one of

the four projects of SCOSTEP’s VarSITI program (2014-2018). The ultimate goal

of the ISEST project is to develop the capability to predict the arrival and

geoeffectiveness and other space-weather consequences of solar transients. The

ISEST project, involving a truly global network of scientists,consists of seven active working groups: (1)

data, (2) theory, (3) simulation, (4) event campaign, (5) Bs challenge, (6)

Solar Energetic Particles, and (7) MiniMax campaign. The project provides a

standing website for hosting events catalogs, data and presentations and offers

a forum for discussion available athttp://solar.gmu.edu/heliophysics/index.php/.

If you

are interested in attending the ISEST-2017 workshop, please register by June

31, 2017. Registration and other information of the workshop can be found at “http://kswrc.kasi.re.kr/Workshop/isest2017”. A

limited amoung of fund is available for supporting young scholars. Please send

an email along with your CV and tentative abstract to Kyungsuk Cho (kscho@kasi.re.kr)

before June 15, 2017 for the financial support. Note that the ISEST-2017

workshop shares the same time and venue with the 3rd COSPAR Symposium on Small

Satellties for Space Research, but runs as an indepedent program.
