Solar, heliospheric, geospace, atmospheric, stellar, and planetary science are included in the meeting's scope. The meeting will be held in Mendoza, Argentina, at the foot of the Andes Mountains: "The land of Sun and good wine".</div><div><br></div><div>The scientific program is now online, please see</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a href="http://iaus286.iafe.uba.ar/">http://iaus286.iafe.uba.ar/</a></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "><a href="http://iaus286.iafe.uba.ar/program.html">http://iaus286.iafe.uba.ar/program.html</a> </span> (direct link)</div><div><br></div><div>The deadline for registration, abstract submission, and hotel reservation is fast approaching: 15 July 2011.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>
