Description and History

The International Space Science School (ISSS) will take place from November 24th to 26th, 2022, at the headquarters of the National Institute for Space Research - INPE, in São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil. The ISSS is associated with XIII COLAGE (Latin American Conference on Space Geophysics), promoted by ALAGE (Latin-American Space Geophysics Association - http://new-version.alage.org/), with the aim of promoting knowledge and training for undergraduate, master's and doctoral candidates, from all over the world, in the area of Space Sciences. Historically, ALAGE promotes schools associated with COLAGEs, although their names and formats are not fixed. COLAGE events take place since 1988 every 2 to 3 years. The XIII COLAGE will also take place at INPE, right after the International Space Science School. In addition to ALAGE, the school has the support from the Space Geophysics Postgraduate Program at INPE, which is a postgraduate program of long last tradition and excellence.

Topics of the ISSS School:

The Sun and the Solar Activity

The Interplanetary Medium and the Solar Wind

The Magnetosphere

The Ionosphere

The Upper Atmosphere

Planetary Sciences

Space Weather

 Format:

The school will take place over 3 full days, and should address two major topics per day, where introductory lectures, given by an expert on the field, will be followed by specific shorter duration lectures on the same subject, which will deepen theoretical aspects, data analysis, simulations, and/or instrumentation.

The school will preferably be presential, however sanitary conditions may require adjustments. The existing infrastructure is prepared for a hybrid or virtual format should this be required.
