The International Meridian Circle Program (IMCP) is pleased to announce that the 2025 IMCP Space Weather School will be held in Hainan, China, from November 10 to 16, 2025. Based on the success of the 2023 IMCP School, it will further advance education and training on the physical processes of solar-terrestrial space weather coupling, with a particular focus on low-latitude ionospheric research. The school will feature both general and specialized sessions, including lectures and field station-based instruction, aimed at enhancing participants' understanding of ionospheric scintillation phenomena and their impact on radio communications and navigation systems.
The International Meridian Circle Program is a geospace science initiative that attracts participation from international institutions and organizations, aims to explore the phenomena, drivers, and physical processes associated with space weather. IMCP employs global networks of ground-based observatories and other observational and modeling platforms to carry out its research. As part of this mission, IMCP is committed to fostering collaboration among the international space weather science community and to educating and training the next generation of scientists. IMCP supports both individual scientific research and international collaboration.
The application processes to attend the school is now open. The deadline for submitting applications is July 31. Corrected: Applicants are required to provide a brief resume including their research and academic background, publications, and a statement of research interest.
Local support, including accommodation (a shared hotel room for 2 students) and meals during the school course session, will be available for up to 40 selected students.
