We propose to hold a U.S. Finnish Auroral Workshop in Helsinki from 19-21 March, 1992. The purpose of the workshop will be to review the past collaborations, to initiate new activities, and to establish collaborative links between a new generation of scientists in both countries. Significant new opportunities soon will be available due to recent or upcoming initiatives in auroral, magnetospheric, and deep space research. Finland has committed significant financial resources to space research and has greatly expanded the number of young scientists. Finnish scientists are presently operating major ground-based observation facilities, and several groups are involved in the FREJA, POLAR, CLUSTER, and INTERBALL spacecraft missions. In the U.S., the National Science Foundation has begun a major new program, Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM), that could significantly benefit from U.S. - Finnish collaboration. Working groups will form to identify specific investigations for both near- and long- term. We expect 24 Finnish scientists to participate, of which many are students and young scientists. Forty U.S. scientists will be invited, and a large fraction of these are also young scientists. In spite of the size of the workshop, limited funds are requested, and the money will be used almost exclusively to support the travel of young U.S. scientists who have not participated in previous U.S. - Finnish workshops.

我们提议于 1992 年 3 月 19 日至 21 日在赫尔辛基举办美国芬兰极光研讨会。研讨会的目的是回顾过去的合作，发起新的活动，并在两国新一代科学家之间建立合作联系。 由于极光、磁层和深空研究方面最近或即将采取的举措，很快就会出现重大的新机会。 芬兰为太空研究投入了大量财政资源，并大大增加了年轻科学家的数量。 芬兰科学家目前正在运营主要的地面观测设施，多个小组参与了 FREJA、POLAR、CLUSTER 和 INTERBALL 航天器任务。 在美国，国家科学基金会已经启动了一项重大的新计划，即地球空间环境建模（GEM），该计划可以从美国与芬兰的合作中受益匪浅。 将成立工作组来确定近期和长期的具体调查。 我们预计将有 24 名芬兰科学家参加，其中许多是学生和年轻科学家。 将邀请四十名美国科学家，其中很大一部分也是年轻科学家。 尽管研讨会规模很大，但所要求的资金有限，这些资金几乎全部用于支持未参加过之前的美国-芬兰研讨会的美国年轻科学家的旅行。
