1. JOB OPENING: Applications are invited for two PhD positions (Early Stage
Researchers, ESR) at the Politecnico di Torino.

Applications are invited for two PhD positions ("Early Stage Researchers",
ESR) at the Politecnico di Torino, funded by the Marie-Sklodowska- Curie
Innovative Training Network COMPLETE

Cloud-MicroPhysics-Turbulence-Telemetry: an inter-multidisciplinary training
network for enhancing the understanding and modeling of atmospheric clouds
within the Horizon 2020 Program of the European Commission. The objectives
are the numerical analysis of the transport of energy, water vapor and
droplets across the warm cloud/clear air interface, the Lagrangian analysis
of water droplets (1 – 100  micrometre) in suspension, the analysis of the
data produced by innovative expendable radio-probes released in warm clouds
and their comparison with numerical simulations.

2. WORKSHOP: Space Weather: a Multi-Disciplinary Approach, Leiden, The
Netherlands, September 25-29, 2017

From: Enrico Camporeale (e.camporeale at cwi.nl)

SCOPE and AIM

The study of space weather has traditionally been carried out using standard
techniques and tools found in space physics such as time series correlational
analyses. These techniques, although having the advantage of being fast and
simple, are sometimes not adequate or complete because the Sun-Earth system
is a complex nonlinear system. On the other hand, researchers in the fields
of mathematics, information science, computer science, machine learning,
data mining, have developed, over the last several decades, tools that can
handle complex nonlinear systems and are eager to apply these new tools to
new difficult problems.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from space weather,
space physics, mathematics, computer science, information science, machine
learning, data mining, etc. to foster symbiosis and cross-fertilization
across the fields.

The topics that will be discussed include:

-- machine learning for Space Weather

-- information theory for Sun-Earth system

-- pattern recognition and deep learning of solar images

-- data mining in space physics

LOCATION: Lorentz Center in Leiden, The Netherlands. REGISTRATION is
available on
http://lorentzcenter.nl/lc/web/2017/921/info.php3?wsid=921&venue=Oort

Please notice that the workshop is limited to 45 participants. Lorentz
Center workshops have no registration fees. Hotel accommodation can be
arranged through the Lorentz Center. Please contact the organizers for
further information. Enrico Camporeale, e.camporeale at cwi.nl, Simon Wing,

3. MEETING: The GEM 2017 Summer Workshop will be held during June 18-23,
2017 at the Renaissance Portsmouth-Norfolk Waterfront Hotel, Portsmouth,
Virginia.

Please see more at http://www.cpe.vt.edu/gem/index.html

Student support is open for application now (
http://www.cpe.vt.edu/gem/students.html). A high priority will be given to
the following groups: graduate students engaged in their thesis or dissertation
research, first time attendees and students from small institutions, and
students having specific GEM-related duties. Applications or adviser
recommendations received after this date will be on the waiting list.

4. MEETING: Space Weather of the Heliosphere: Processes and Forecast IAU
Symposium 335 - July 17-21, 2017 - University of Exeter, UK

Space weather is increasingly recognised as an international challenge faced
by several communities. The ability to understand, monitor and forecast the
space weather of the Earth and the heliosphere is of paramount importance
for our high-technology society and for the current rapid developments in
knowledge and exploration within our Solar System.

The symposium is planned over 5 days from Monday through Friday (including
half-day excursion on the Wednesday afternoon). Key Topics of the
scientific program are the following: Solar drivers and activity levels;
Solar wind and heliosphere; Impact of solar wind, structures and radiation
on and within terrestrial and planetary environments (including
magnetospheres, ionospheres and atmospheres); Long-term trends and
predictions for space weather; Challenges and strategy plans for Earth and
the heliosphere; Forecasting models; Space weather monitoring,
instrumentation, data and services. The Symposium aims to further knowledge
on space weather by linking various aspects of research in solar,
heliospheric and planetary physics, and by putting great emphasis on
cross-disciplinary developments, merging different communities, learning
from interplanetary comparisons and linking to atmospheric and
meteorological research for the first time at the international level.

6. MEETING: Fourteenth European Space Weather Week, Nov 27 - Dec 1, 2017,
Ostend, Belgium

The ESWW is the main annual event in the European Space Weather calendar.
It is the European forum for Space Weather as proven by the high attendance
to the past editions. The agenda will be composed of plenary/parallel
sessions, working meetings and dedicated events for service end-users. The
ESWW will again adopt the central aim of bringing together the diverse
groups in Europe working on different aspects of Space Weather.

Following an excellent response to the call for sessions, the Program Committee
is pleased to invite contributions to sessions, addressing a wide range of
scientific and application related themes.

ESWW14 will be held from November 27 - December 1 in Ostend, Belgium. The
meeting website is http://www.stce.be/esww14/.
