ABOUT
10th VERSIM workshop
VERSIM is an international group of scientists that are interested in studying the behaviour of the magnetosphere and ionosphere by means of ELF and VLF radio waves, both naturally and artificially generated.
Since 2004, VERSIM workshops have been held every two years in multiple locations. They are the occasion to present and discuss recent results, new techniques and encourage collaboration within the space physics community.
1st VERSIM School
This School will allow for new arrivals to the field to get familiarized with essential VERSIM topics. While participation is open to everyone, due to limited number of spots, students and early career scientists will be given priority.
The school will be the weekend before the workshop (05-06 November 2022). There will be tutorial talks complemented by activities to learn about instruments used by the community.
