STP-16 School Program

Conveners: Kazuo Shiokawa and Ioannis A. Daglis

The STP-16 School will be held two days prior to the STP-16 symposium, i.e., on 30-31 May 2026.

The School will consist of hourly lectures by eminent scientists from the STP community, followed by hourly handson assignments, covering the following thematic areas:

1. Cross-scale coupling processes in the space weather and space climate sources – Bernhard Kliem (University of Potsdam, Germany)
2. Interplanetary disturbances as space weather drivers – Spiros Patsourakos (University of Ioannina, Greece)
3. Cross-scale coupling processes of the solar wind, magnetosphere, and ionosphere – Rumi Nakamura (Austrian Academy of Sciences, Austria)
4. Storms/substorms and energetic particles in geospace – Ioannis A. Daglis (University of Athens, Greece)
5. External impacts on the atmosphere (Magnetosphere-Thermosphere-Ionosphere dynamics) – Astrid Maute (Leibniz Institute for Atmospheric Physics, Germany)
6. Cross-scale interactions / vertical coupling in the atmosphere – Nick Pedatella (High Altitude Observatory, USA)

The lectures will be open to students of all levels, with a primary focus on graduate students. This School is only for registered participants of the STP-16 Symposium.
