Subject: International Study for Earth-Affecting Solar Transients
(ISEST) Workshop in Hvar, Croatia, June 17-20, 2013 - Second 
Announcement

This is the second announcement for the International Study for
Earth-Affecting Solar Transients (ISEST) Workshop in Hvar, Croatia,
June 17-20, 2013. ISEST is intended to bring together scientists from
different countries to interact and establish collaborations that can
effectively address the physical mechanisms of the origin and
propagation of coronal mass ejections (CMEs), toward the goal of
developing the prediction capability of solar transients' arrival and
potential impact on the Earth. This is a newly established program
under SCOSTEP CAWSES-II. The workshop engages coordinated
international activities in observation, theory and modeling, and
involves scientists in both developed and developing countries, and
provides an online platform for both research and educational
opportunities for students.

It is now open for registration, deadline April 20, 2013.  A limited
amount of money is available for providing financial aid to young
researchers and key contributors. The aid will be normally used for
local hotel cost and per diem, but not the travel. Please send email
to Jie Zhang (jzhang7@gmu.edu) before April 20, 2013 for financial
aid.

If you are interested in this workshop and the online resources, but
not attending the meeting, you can sign up at the participant
webpage. If you plan to attend the meeting, you need to register
besides the signup. Please book the hotel soon, since they are tight
at Hvar in June.
