The Camp consists of a series of lectures, hands-on projects, and other interesting activities. The lecture subject matter covers various aspects related to Space Weather, comprising cosmic ray particle transport theory, plasma physics, solar physics, heliospheric physics, computer simulations for modeling and understanding local Space Weather, and the impact on Earth’s atmosphere, satellites, and space.
Successful applicants are fully funded to participate in the ISWC 2021. Funding will include airtime for the virtual part and transport, accommodation, and meals for the second part of the Camp on the condition that the applicant attended all the virtual sessions.
