Subject:   Heliophysics 2050 Workshop and Call for White Papers

The Heliophysics 2050 Workshop is an agency-enabled, community-driven event to help the science community better prepare for the next Decadal Survey.

It will be held in May 2021. The event is intended to be an in-person meeting with a strong virtual attendance option. Organizers are monitoring the COVID-19 situation, and contingency plans for a fully virtual meeting will be made should they be necessary.

Purpose and Scope

The workshop will focus on discussing a strategic, multi-decadal science framework for solar and space physics. The community will create a cohesive science strategy to identify:


  1.  Essential science investigations necessary for major science advancements.
  2.  Research and capability development needed to meet science investigation requirements.
  3.  Research needed in the next decade to prepare for long-term research goals.
  4.  Work needed to ensure a pipeline from basic research to pre-application research and then into operational needs, including the operations-to-research loop that strengthens forecasting and other predictive capabilities.

Call for White Papers

The workshop discussions will be based on the science needs identified in community white papers. Submissions are encouraged to advance and expand the field of solar and space physics.

White papers should succinctly describe a progression of linked scientific investigations starting from the current state and leading toward the desired state in 2050. The ideal white paper would contain the key points and links between and progression of related science investigations that would serve as a basis for a longer conversation, and would not describe a spaceflight mission or other implementation. There is no limit to the number of white papers an individual may submit. White papers are limited to 3 pages (including figures and references).

Community members are encouraged to proactively involve colleagues who may be experiencing significant time constraints due to the COVID-19 situation that would allow participation in but prevent the leading of white papers.

Create a profile and submit white papers via the USRA meeting portal: https://bit.ly/Helio2050.

White papers are due September 2, 2020, 5:00 p.m. U.S. Central Daylight Time<http://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/images/timezone.jpg> (GMT -5).

Questions about the Heliophysics 2050 Workshop or its rescheduling should be directed to Jared Leisner (jared.s.leisner at nasa.gov<mailto:jared.s.leisner at nasa.gov>).

Questions regarding the white paper submission process should be directed to USRA Meetings (publish at hou.usra.edu<mailto:publish at hou.usra.edu>).
