SRS 2023

 

The SRS 2023 took place in Uppsala on March 14-15, 2023. The meeting covers different areas of space sciences carried out at Swedish institutes. The format includes invited talks, as well as posters which were displayed in a special poster session, and could be viewed as well as during coffee and lunch breaks. This year we had a new session in the programme with discussions about funding strategies in Sweden. The programme below has links to some of the presented slides, especially SNSA's funding strategy and the information_by the representatives of the SNSA.

For questions and general matters about SRS please contact Maria Hamrin,  at email <Maria.Hamrin@space.umu.se>.  For further information about the 2023 meeting please see below or contact Stephan Buchert <scb@irfu.se>.

The venue was the Sonja Lyttkens lecture hall (Å101121) in house 10 ("New Ångström") of the Ångström Laboratory of the Uppsala University.

WiFi:

Eduroam will work. If not available, pse see the UU WiFI 24h access for guests. To receive a code you need to provide the Swedish (or EU?) number of a mobile phone. If needed, ask another attendant for help with receiving the code, it does not have to be your phone.
