Any impacts will be communicated to the applicants.

NASA Science Mission Design Schools

Now through April 27, 2020, NASA is encouraging applications for the
Heliophysics Mission Design School (HMDS), an early-career development pilot
opportunity to help prepare the next generation of heliophysics science and
engineering mission leaders. This experience is an adaptation of the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory’s long-running Planetary Science Summer School,
focused on high-priority heliophysics content and mission design.
Participants learn the process of developing a hypothesis-driven robotic
space mission in a concurrent engineering environment while getting an
in-depth, first-hand look at mission design, life cycle, costs, schedule and
the trade-offs inherent in each.

Science and engineering doctoral candidates, recent Ph.D.s, postdocs, junior
faculty, and certain master’s degree students, who are U.S. Citizens or
legal permanent residents (and a very limited number of Foreign Nationals
from non-designated counties), are eligible. Applicants from diverse
backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply. Partial financial support
is available for a limited number of individuals.

3. Heliophysics 2050 Workshop Community Announcement

NASA, NSF, and NOAA are pleased to announce the Heliophysics 2050 Workshop.
This workshop will be an agency-enabled, community-driven event to examine
long-term goals as well as helping the community prepare for the next Solar
and Space Physics Decadal Survey.

The workshop is being planned for an in-person venue, with on-line
participation options, the week of August 3, 2020. Due to the current
situation and travel restrictions, secondary options of an all-virtual
workshop and a meeting delay are also being considered.

This workshop will focus on discussing a strategic, multi-decadal science
framework for solar and space physics. It is anticipated that conference
proceedings will be published for community members to leverage in framing
their own white papers to the Decadal Survey process. The community will
create a cohesive science strategy that will enable the ability to:

   1. Identify essential science investigations necessary for major
advancements in solar and space physics.
   2. Use the desired investigations to identify the research and capability
development needed to meet the requirements of these missions.
   3. Recognize research needed in the next decade to prepare for the
long-term research goals.
   4. Recognize work needed to ensure a pipeline from basic research to
pre-application research and then into operational needs, including the
operations-to-research loop that strengthens forecasting and other
predictive capabilities.

A Science Organizing Committee (SOC) will be formed from community members
to help manage the workshop. The SOC will help organize the workshop
schedule, including planning the sessions, sorting the abstracts, and
managing the workshop discussions. These individuals will also serve as
editors for the proceedings document resulting from the workshop.

As part of workshop preparation, short community white papers will be
solicited. Those white papers will be used by the SOC to plan the workshop
sessions and focus those discussions.

Further information will be released via community announcements over the
next few weeks.

Please contact Jared Leisner (jared.s.leisner at nasa.gov) with any questions.

4. CANCELLATION of the Physical EGU General Assembly 2020 in
Vienna, Austria

(From the EGU 2020 Meeting website)

The EGU is officially announcing the cancellation of the physical EGU
General Assembly 2020 in Vienna, Austria. Because the Union is committed to
minimizing the impact of COVID-19 on scientific research and collaboration,
we believe EGU has a responsibility and a duty to ensure these activities
continue despite the current, extreme circumstances. We have therefore
decided to host EGU2020: Sharing Geoscience Online (#shareEGU20), a
week-long series of online activities held during the first week of May that
support our community by fostering scientific communication.

EGU2020: Sharing Geoscience Online will allow abstract authors to share
presentation materials and open these for live discussion as well as
participate in a selection of online networking events. We are also planning
additional activities that will extend into the rest of the year and will
provide more information about all of these events in the coming weeks.

We would like to personally thank our members and other attendees for their
patience as the Union has navigated this difficult situation. We would also
like to extend our sincere thanks to the hundreds of volunteers around the
globe who have worked so hard to shape such an exciting programme, and
especially the Programme Committee for their tireless efforts to make
EGU2020 as inclusive, environmentally friendly, and progressive as possible.

For answers to pressing logistical questions regarding the cancellation,
please refer to the list of frequently asked questions below. We look
forward to virtually meeting during the online activities of EGU2020 and
welcoming you in person to Vienna from 25-30 April 2021 at the next
