ISEST Workshop First Announcement

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

This International Study for Earth-Affecting Solar Transients (ISEST)
Workshop is 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
