1. General Information
The National
Institute for Theoretical Physics (NITP) and the World
Institute for Space Environment Research (WISER)
will host the World Space Environment Forum
(WSEF 2002) at Adelaide University on July 22-25, 2002.
The Special
Research Centre for the Subatomic Structure of Matter (CSSM) at Adelaide
University will provide
administrative support and host this conference
in its facilities located at Level 4, 10 Pulteney Street, Adelaide, SA
5000.
This conference will review the state-of-the-art
of space environment research and identify the
key problems in solar-terrestrial connection
to be addressed by the international space science
and plasma physics community in the coming
years, with emphasis on theory, data analysis,
modelling and prediction. It will also provide
a forum for elaborating international collaboration
programmes on research and training in space
environment.
Participation in this conference is by invitation
only and will be limited to the maximum of
60 delegates. If you are interested in attending
this conference please contact the
Conference Secretariat by E-mail: wsef2002@physics.adelaide.edu.au
Selected delegates will be notified by 31st
March, 2002.
CONFERENCE VENUES: The WSEF2002 will
be held in the Cinema Room located on Level 5 of the
Union Building on the campus of the University
of Adelaide in North Terrace. The HPC2002 will be held
in the CSSM Seminar Room located at Level
4, 10 Pulteney Street, near the university campus.
Oral presentations can use either transparency
or power point. If you prefer power point, please email me
the electronic file of your presentation before
the conference or hand in a disk when you register at the
conference. The speakers for the Morning Session
of 22 July are requested to arrive before 8:30am so we
can prepare your presentations.
