The 13th International School/Symposium for Space Simulations (ISSS-13) will take place from September 6-14th, 2018 at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA, Los Angeles, USA).
The International School/Symposium for Space Simulations (ISSS) has a legacy of more than 35 years and the program is designed for the teaching of space plasma simulation techniques and sharing of state-of-the-art simulation advances and results with researchers in plasma physics. ISSS-13 will bring together the most recent observational results, theoretical advances and numerical simulations to address the outstanding problems in space physics. ISSS-13 is open to all members of the scientific community, with participation by graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and young scientists particularly encouraged.
The school and symposium will be integrated so that tutorial/practical sessions on various types of plasma simulation models including: particle-in-cell (PIC), large scale kinetic (LSK), Vlasov, hybrid, guiding center-gyrokinetic, multi-fluid and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) codes, will be presented along with review and invited talks on cutting edge topics in space plasma physics research. Poster sessions will also be held to highlight results obtained by students and as well as both young and senior scientists in the field. Awards will be presented to the best student posters presented at ISSS-13.
Fellowships will be available for students and young scientists with information on the application process to be announced.
We look forward to seeing you at UCLA in September!
