Future Directions in Heliophysics

Workshop

WHEN January 16-19, 2018
WHERE NYU Abu Dhabi, Conference Center, Room A6-010 WHO Center for Space Science By Invitation Interested scholars please contact nyuad.spacescience@nyu.edu

Heliophysics aims to understand the root causes of the Sun's magnetic activity and to study the effects of the Sun on the heliosphere and planets in the solar system. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together experts from all over the world to build a science case for a future space mission in solar physics with a helioseismology component. Opportunities for collaborations in the UAE and beyond will be discussed.
