Swedish Institute of Space Physics (59°50.272′N, 17°38.786′E)
Swedish Plasma and Space Physics Workshop 2010

Swedish Plasma and Space Physics Workshop/Plasma- och rymdfysik möte 2010

The plasma phyics section of the Swedish Physical Society and scientists interested in space physics have had for several years their annual meetings separately. In the year 2010 we will try to create synergy and organize the meeting together. We will meet in Uppsala, on February 18-19, 2010, thursday-friday.

Svensksa fysikersamfundets plasma sektion och rymdfysikerna har i flera år haft årliga möten var för sig. I 2010 försöker vi att skapa synergism och organiserar ett gemensamt möte. Vi träffas i Uppsala, 18-19 Februari 2010, torsdag till fredag.

Information for visitors

The workshop will have have the Beurlingsroom on the ground floor of the Ångströmlaboratoriet of the Uppsala University plus smaller meeting rooms for splinter sessions.
