We are pleased to announce the ISWI-SCOSTEP International School on Space Weather, to be held from 5–9 January 2026 at the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG), Mumbai, India.
International schools on Space Weather are one of the important event categories that ISWI regularly organizes jointly with other research or academic institutions in different parts of the globe. The previous schools on the space weather were held in Nepal and Zambia in 2024 and 2023, respectively.
This International School on Space Weather will be organized in collaboration with ISWI and SCOSTEP at IIG, in Mumbai, India. IIG is an autonomous research organization under the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, is internationally recognized for its cutting-edge research in geomagnetism, solar-terrestrial interactions, space weather, and related fields. The primary objective of the School is to inspire and engage Master’s and Ph.D. students from around the world in the exciting research domains of solar-terrestrial physics and space weather. The school will feature a series of expert-led scientific lectures on recent advances and contemporary challenges within the field.
The broad topics covered will be Sun, Dynamo and Active Regions, Solar Transient and Recurrent events, Interplanetary structures, Solar Wind Structures and Magnetospheric Interactions, Magnetospheric Current Systems, Storms and Substorms, Magnetosphere – Ionosphere – Thermosphere coupling and Space Weather impacts. In addition, hands-on data analysis workshops will provide participants with practical experience utilizing real datasets pertinent to space weather studies.
