Conference: Funding for Student and Young Scientist Attendance at the 16th International Solar Wind Conference Series

国际太阳风会议系列是一项每三年举行一次的活动，来自世界各地的专家将讨论太阳风物理领域的最新研究和进展以及太阳风与其他空间环境之间的联系。在过去的50年里，会议的规模和范围不断扩大，吸引了来自太阳物理、太阳物理、空间物理和行星科学等多个学科的科学家。会议还包括关于太阳耀斑、日冕物质抛射和空间天气等前沿主题的会议，为从事空间物理研究各个方面的专业人员之间的跨学科互动提供了机会。该项目支持学生和青年科学家参加将于2023年6月12日至16日在加利福尼亚州阿西洛马市举行的第16届国际太阳风会议系列会议。太阳风16大会汇编了一套多样化的精选主题，全面涵盖了空间物理和太阳风科学的广阔领域。会议汇集了来自不同学科的专家和研究人员，讨论和介绍该领域的最新进展和研究成果。从太阳风的起源和加速到其对日光层和行星环境的影响，选定的专题涵盖了反映该领域多学科性质的广泛主题。选定的专题有望促进与会者之间引人入胜的讨论和合作，并有助于推进空间物理研究。主题和建议的课程是：i.太阳风物理基础；ii.太阳风的加热和加速；太阳风的相互作用；以及《大图景》。NSF的资金将作为津贴分配给学生和早期职业科学家，以支付他们的注册、住宿和/或旅行费用。这一预算将允许相当数量的学生和年轻科学家参加会议，为他们提供机会介绍他们的研究成果，与他们的同行建立网络，并向该领域的知名专家学习。对下一代科学家的这项投资将有助于确保太阳风研究社区的持续发展和成功，并额外提供一个机会，支持社区内的多样性和包容性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The International Solar Wind Conference series is a triennial event that brings experts from around the world to discuss the latest research and advancements in the field of solar wind physics and the connections between the solar wind and other space-environments. Over the past fifty years, the conference has grown in size and scope, attracting scientists from a wide range of disciplines, including solar physics, heliophysics, space physics, and planetary science. The conference has also evolved to include sessions on cutting-edge topics such as solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and space weather, providing opportunities for interdisciplinary interactions between professionals working on various aspects of space physics research. This project supports students and young scientists to attend the 16th International Solar Wind Conference Series to be held June 12-16, 2023 in Asilomar, California. The Solar Wind 16 conference has compiled a diverse set of selected topics that comprehensively cover the vast field of space physics and solar wind science. The conference brings together experts and researchers from various disciplines to discuss and present the latest advancements and research findings in the field. From the origin and acceleration of the solar wind to its impact on the heliosphere and planetary environments, the selected topics encompass a wide range of themes that reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the field. The chosen topics promise to foster engaging discussions and collaborations among the attendees and contribute to the advancement of space physics research. The topics and proposed sessions are: i. Fundamentals of Solar Wind Physics; ii. Heating and Acceleration of the solar wind ; iii. Solar Wind Interactions; and iv. The “Big Picture”. The NSF funds will be distributed among students and early career scientists as stipends to cover their registration, lodging and/or travel expenses. This budget will allow for a significant number of students and young scientists to attend the conference, providing them with the opportunity to present their research, network with their peers, and learn from established experts in the field. This investment in the next generation of scientists will help to ensure the continued growth and success of the solar wind research community and additionally provide an opportunity to support diversity and inclusivity within this community.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
