News

SPECIAL continues: Despite the fact that the funding through the ESF has ended, the SPECIAL Network, which was very successful, will continue in the future. All participants of SPECIAL wish to thank the ESF for the great support received in the past years and for making SPECIAL possible in first place. Thank you!

E-STAR: European Solar Terrestrial and Atmospheric Research Programme

The ESF Network SPECIAL will propose a larger EUROCORES programme towards a comprehensive, physics-based understanding of space weather and solar forcing on the climate system. This interdisciplinary project includes the scientific expertise from the SPECIAL, space physics, climate modeling, and the information technology community. Scientists who are interested in the programme and may plan to submit proposals for personnel, experiments, data analysis, theoretical modeling, and/or infrastructure in the E-STAR framework programme are invited to participate. For more information contact Martin Füllekrug, Frankfurt/Main, Germany.
