Fully on-site meeting

About Space Climate 8 Symposium

The Space Climate Symposia Series brings together leading experts in the field of space climate. The objectives of the Symposia are three-fold:

  1. to better understand the causes and effects of long-term variations in solar activity, with a focus on the solar magnetic dynamo, and how the magnetic field it generates produces the various phenomena collectively making up solar activity: e.g., sunspots, flares, coronal mass ejections, coronal holes, high-speed solar wind streams etc;
  2. to better understand how the varying solar activity affects the near-Earth space, atmosphere and even climate, on time scales ranging from a few solar rotations up to several millennia;
  3. to better understand the intricacies of the various datasets used to make inferences about long-term solar variations: e.g., the sunspot number time series and geomagnetic observations.

Venue

The Space Climate 8 Symposium will take place September 19-22, 2022 in Krakow, the historical city in Poland.

The meeting venue is the Hotel Galaxy, located 25 minutes walk from the impresive, fourteenth Century Old Town.

For those who like mountain trips, there is a possibility to hike in the highest Polish mountains, Tatra mountains (Tatry). The routes can be really spectacular: https://www.zakopane.pl/en/tourist-area/tourism/tatra-mountains
https://www.poland.travel/en/experience/hiking/hiking-in-poland-guide-%E2%80%93-tatry
It is about 3 hours by car from Krakow.

Slightly closer to Krakow (just over an hour) there are much lower mountains, with picturesque routes, Island Beskids (Beskid Wyspowy): https://visitmalopolska.pl/en/-/glowny-szlak-beskidu-wyspowego-1016
