Meetings
ISRO-ESA Heliophysics Workshop on Aditya-L1, Solar Orbiter and Proba-3
This workshop will serve as a platform for the heliophysics scientific community, preferably working with the science data of these three mission, to develop strong synergies and collaborative efforts in the area of heliophysics. By fostering this partnership, we aim to advance our knowledge of the Sun and its impact on the heliosphere.
The workshop will have a number of invited presentations from eminent scientists in the area of solar and heliophysics relevant to the three missions (Aditya-L1, Solar Orbiter, and Proba-3). Three half-day sessions on science data processing and associated guidance will be provided by relevant instrument teams. There will be opportunities to work on specific problems using data from these missions-specifically addressing combined science analysis. Limited contributed and poster presentations are also encouraged. Preliminary results will be presented in the final session, paving the way for future collaborations.

10th Solar Orbiter, 18th IRIS, 1st ADITYA Joint
Workshop
Solar science is going through an exciting period with new space missions complementing each other and extending the capabilities of proven ones. This leads us to the discovery of new solar phenomena and a better understanding of important physical processes. We invite the community to present and discuss the big advances in scientific understanding and the many discoveries coming out of three such missions, the Solar Orbiter of ESA and NASA, IRIS of NASA, and Aditya of ISRO at the 10th Solar Orbiter, 18th IRIS, and 1st Aditya workshop. It shall take place from 16th to 19th March, 2026, at the Harnack House of the Max Planck Society in the vibrant city of Berlin. You are invited to join, share your results, learn what colleagues have found, and get to know the new research possibilities opened up by combining the capabilities of these exciting missions. The workshop will cover topics ranging from the interior of the Sun to the heliosphere and will highlight the role of the magnetic field in shaping solar activity.

Cool Stars 23
The next edition of the conference series "Cool Stars, Stellar Systems and the Sun" (CS 23) will be held in a hybrid format in Tokyo Bay Area from June 15 to 19 2026, 46 years after its first edition in Cambridge (USA). This first edition was shortly followed that same year by a workshop on "Solar Phenomena in Stars and Stellar Systems" that took place in the southern French countryside, in a small village called Bonas. Both meetings are often considered as the starting point of this exceptionally successful conference series, where approximately 500 international experts in Low-Mass Stars, Solar Physics, and Exoplanets meet every other year to exchange ideas in a cross-disciplinary and friendly environment. We will have CS 23 first time in Asia. Tokyo will be hosting the next Cool Stars, jointly among U.Tokyo, ABC, ISAS-JAXA, and the other researchers based in Japan.

2nd European Solar Physics Division (ESPD) Summerschool
The European Solar Physics Division (ESPD) of the European Physical Society (EPS) represents and provides a forum for European scientists, primarily, and any scientist, secondarily, interested in aspects of the physics of the Sun. The objective of the ESPD is the advancement of the study of the Sun, the dissemination of key results of solar physics research to the general public, and the promotion and coordination of such research with other areas and branches of the physical sciences. Every 3 years the board organizes European Solar Physics meeting (ESPM).
