Dear Colleagues.

Apologies for cross posting.

We would like to remind you to take part in the first consortium workshop to discuss the proposal for an operational space-weather mission to L5.  This is a follow-on and associated workshop to those previously taken place in the USA (e.g. Boulder, CO, 02-04 December 2014 was the latest).

The registration places are going fast (on a first-come basis) and registration will close promptly at 12:00UT on 30 April 2015 - please register sooner rather than later if you intend on taking part in the workshop.

Once your registration place is confirmed, you will be sent an E-Mail with the necessary instructions on how to submit your abstract (the abstract deadline has been brought forward to 24 April at 23:59:59UT to accommodate planning of the final programme, so please register well ahead of this deadline if you also wish to submit an abstract.  Abstracts can be for either discussion topics and for individual presentations fitting within the overall theme of the workshop.

The workshop will take place 11-14 May 2015 at the Business Innovation Skills (BIS) Westminster Conference Centre, 1 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0ET, UK (http://www.1victoriastreet.co.uk/1_victoria_street).

As a reminder, the objectives for the meeting include:
- Agreeing the continuing need for an operational mission to L5;
- Confirm good science can be achieved from an operational mission;
- Discuss the instrumentation to be included within the spacecraft; and
- Demonstrate to key stakeholders that there is a global interest and need for an Operational Mission to L5.

To register your attendance and for additional information and updates on the workshop details as they are made available, please go to the official workshop website: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/conference/L5-Consortium-workshop and scroll down for further information as well as for a preliminary agenda.

There will be no registration charges, lunches and tea/coffee breaks will be provided on the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for all registered participants, and we will also hold events on the Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for all workshop participants.  Full details will be updated on the official website in due course.

Best wishes,

Mario.
