The Influence of Solar Variability on Geophysical and Heliospheric Phenomena; the 2009 ILWS Workshop will be held near the city of Ubatuba in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, October 4-10, 2009. This will be the third in a series of very successful and well-attended meetings sponsored by the International Living With a Star (ILWS) that have been held around the world (Goa, India in 2006 and Varna, Bulgaria in 2007). Information on the meeting is located at http://www.dge.inpe.br/maghel/ilws/
- The Indian Institute of Astrophysics is organizing the 1st Asia-Pacific School to be held December 10-22, 2007 at Kodaikanal Observatory in India.
Applications are now being accepted for the 1st Asia-Pacific Summer School. This international school offers an intensive two weeks course in topics related to heliophysics. The course is aimed at Ph.D. and post-doctoral research students.

Objective: The SOHO and Cluster missions form a
single ESA cornerstone. Yet they observe very different regions
in our solar system: the solar atmosphere on one hand and the Earth’s
magnetosphere on the other. At the same time the Ulysses mission
provides observations in the third dimension of the heliosphere,
and many others add to the picture from the Lagrangian point L1
to the edge of the heliosphere. It is the aim of this ISSI workshop,
under the auspices of the International Living With a Star (ILWS)
program, to tie these observations together in addressing the topic
of Solar Dynamics and its Effects on the Heliosphere and Earth.
The Workshop will start out with an assessment and description of
the reasons for solar dynamics and how it couples into the heliosphere.
The three subsequent days will each be devoted to following one
chain of events from the Sun all the way to the Earth’s magnetosphere
and ionosphere: The normal solar wind chain, the chain associated
with coronal mass ejections, and the solar energetic particles chain.
The final day of the workshop shall be devoted to common physical
processes occurring both at the Sun and in the magnetosphere such
as reconnection, shock acceleration, dipolarisation of magnetic
field, and others.
