objective of the SVS program is to provide training to young
scientists and graduate students from developing countries in
well-established solar terrestrial physics institutes, for one
to three months. The training will help the young scientists
to advance their career in solar terrestrial physics using the
technique/skill they learned during the training. SCOSTEP will
provide the airfare, while the host institute will provide the
living expenses (accommodation, sustenance, ground
transportation, visa fees and other incidentals). Trainees
should have their own health insurance or arrange a provision
with the host institution.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
