CEDAR email: Heliophysics 2050 Workshop Community Announcement

[Leisner, Jared S. (HQ-DJ000)]

NASA, NSF, and NOAA are pleased to announce the Heliophysics 2050 Workshop. This workshop will be an agency-enabled, community-driven event to examine long-term goals as well as helping the community prepare for the next Solar and Space Physics Decadal Survey.

The workshop is being planned for an in-person venue, with on-line participation options, the week of August 3, 2020. Due to the current situation and travel restrictions, secondary options of an all-virtual workshop and a meeting delay are also being considered.

This workshop will focus on discussing a strategic, multi-decadal science framework for solar and space physics. It is anticipated that conference proceedings will be published for community members to leverage in framing their own white papers to the Decadal Survey process. The community will create a cohesive science strategy that will enable the ability to:

   1. Identify essential science investigations necessary for major advancements in solar and space physics.
   2. Use the desired investigations to identify the research and capability development needed to meet the requirements of these missions.
   3. Recognize research needed in the next decade to prepare for the long-term research goals.
   4. Recognize 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.

A Science Organizing Committee (SOC) will be formed from community members to help manage the workshop. The SOC will help organize the workshop schedule, including planning the sessions, sorting the abstracts, and managing the workshop discussions. These individuals will also serve as editors for the proceedings document resulting from the workshop.

As part of workshop preparation, short community white papers will be solicited. Those white papers will be used by the SOC to plan the workshop sessions and focus those discussions.

Further information will be released via community announcements over the next few weeks.
