1*) Space Weather Workshop, April 26-29, 2016, REGISTRATION is now OPEN!
From: Susanne Demaree (sdemaree at
ucar.edu)
Space Weather Workshop is an annual conference that brings industry, academia, and government agencies together in a lively dialog about space weather. What began in 1996 as a conference for the space weather user community, Space Weather Workshop has evolved
into the Nation’s leading conference on all issues relating to space weather.

- Late Registration and Onsite Registration fee is $500.00 USD beginning April 1.
From: Gary P. Zank: garyp.zank@gmail.com
The 15th Annual International Astrophysics Conference will be held at the Westin Cape Coral Resort at Marina Village, Cape Coral, Florida, USA, from April 4 to April 8, 2015. (Welcome Reception and Evening Registration begins Sunday, April
3).
The conference website is now up and registration and abstract submission is available.
15th AIAC website:
https://www.icnsmeetings.com/conference/15thannual/index.html
Please mark your calendar and contact us regarding your interest in attending. E-mail inquiries about the meeting should be directed to Gary Zank at
https://www.icnsmeetings.com/conference/15thannual/contact.html.
The meeting is entitled, “The Science of Ed Stone: Celebrating his 80th Birthday”, and will follow the same format as before with 25-minute presentations punctuated by selected 40-minute invited talks that will explore various themes in
greater detail.
Ed Stone has made foundational contributions to our understanding of all facets of the physics of energetic particles in the solar wind and the interstellar medium. Much of our current understanding of the interaction of the solar wind
with the local interstellar medium is derived from the Voyager Interstellar Mission under Ed’s leadership. His remarkable career has spanned the space age, contributing not only to science but to the leadership of our community. The 15th Annual International
Astrophysics Conference will celebrate the science and scientific achievements of Ed Stone.
PLEASE DO NOT WAIT TO BOOK YOUR ROOM. Our turnout is larger than anticipated and unfortunately we have blocked only a very limited amount of rooms

4*) ISSI Call for Team Proposals
The International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern, Switzerland,
and ISSI-BJ in Beijing, China, invite proposals for establishing International
Teams to conduct on its premises research activities in Space Sciences, based on the
interdisciplinary analysis and evaluation of data from spacecraft and
possible integration with ground data and theoretical models. For the purpose
of this Call, Space Sciences include the Solar and Heliospheric Physics,
Solar-Terrestrial Sciences, Space Plasma and Magnetospheric Physics,
Planetary Sciences, Astrobiology, Cosmology, Astrophysics, Fundamental
Physics in Space, and Earth Sciences using Space data.
Letter of Intent: February 18, 2016
Deadline for proposals: March 31, 2016
The Call for International Teams proposal is available on the ISSI web site:
