We are pleased to announce the SPEARHEAD School on High-Energy Particles in the Heliosphere, which will take place on 04–08 September 2026 in Kiel, Germany, hosted by Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (CAU).
The school will provide hands-on training with SPEARHEAD (SPEcification, Analysis & Re-calibration of High Energy pArticle Data) tools and data, offering a practical and interactive learning experience. It builds on the MSc course developed within the project, for which the teaching materials have been openly published.
The event will be held in a hybrid format (on-site and online) and is open to students, early-career researchers, and other interested participants. Students can earn 3 ECTS credits, based on active participation, group project work, and a short report or presentation.
A social programme will complement the scientific sessions, including an excursion to Laboe and a visit to Kiel Rönne.

Participation in the school is free of charge. Limited financial support is available for students upon request in order to facilitate broad participation. The deadline for support applications is 30 April 2026.
Following the school, Workshop 3 of the project will take place, bringing together a broader group of scientists to present and discuss the latest SPEARHEAD results and developments.
