Workshop
Magnetic reconnection and plasma turbulence
29 May 2007, Uppsala

Workshop is arranged by Centre for Dynamical Processes and Structure Formation

29 May 2007 at Swedish Institute of Space Physics, Uppsala and Department of Astronomy and Space Physics, Uppsala University we organize a one-day workshop on the topic of "Magnetic reconnection and plasma turbulence". The workshop is in association with the PhD thesis defence of Alessandro Retinò that takes place 30 May 2007, 13:30 in the Ångström Laboratory. If you are interested to participate in the workshop please contact Andris Vaivads (andris@irfu.se).
