Where and when
Genoa, Italy – May 22nd-25th, 2023
The MIDA group organizes an international "Space Weather Week" at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Genoa. During the week, two events will take place:
- Flare Forecasting Workshop (May 22-23, 2023), whose goal is to gather researchers from several countries involved in the field of solar flare forecasting. The participants will present and discuss the state-of-the-art of the projects they are working on and the key results of their research;
- team meeting of the "Active Region Classification And Flare Forecasting – ARCAFF", Horizon Europe project (May 24-25, 2023). The goal of the meeting is to assess the overall research plan and lay out the development of the project.
