The "Machine Learning in Solar Physics and Space Weather" Workshop will be held at the Center of Excellence in Space Sciences India (CESSI), IISER Kolkata during 28 June - 02 July, 2022. The workshop is an outcome of the Indo-Swedish SPARC project and will be conducted in hybrid mode. The focus of this workshop is to introduce the application of advanced machine learning tools to the solar physics and space weather community. The 5-day workshop consists of a set of expert lectures in the disciplines of machine learning and big data analytics, heliophysics, physics of predictability in turbulent systems such as solar-stellar convection zones, and the science of space weather. A novel component of the workshop is a set of hands-on data analysis sessions by computer science and machine learning experts.

We welcome participation from Scientists, Postdocs, PhD students and senior Masters' students interested in the themes covered in this workshop. Registration is free, however, applicants will be screened for suitability.


Registration deadline is 19 June 2022
