CEDAR email: [First Announcement] 4th International Workshop on Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPB-4) - National Institute for Space Research (INPE) - Brazil

[Diego Barros]

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, we are pleased to invite 
the global scientific community to participate in the *4th International 
Workshop on Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPB-4)*, to be hosted by the 
*National Institute for Space Research (INPE)* in São José dos Campos, 
São Paulo, Brazil, *from 14 to 18 September 2026*.

The EPB-4 workshop aims to provide an international forum for 
researchers, students, and professionals to exchange ideas, present 
recent results, and foster collaborations in the field of Equatorial 
Plasma Bubble research. The main highlights of EPB-4 include:

  * Promoting in-depth discussions on the latest observational
    techniques for monitoring Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPBs),
    including upcoming satellite missions, advanced ground-based
    sensors, and multi-instrument networks

  * Highlighting recent progress in coupled models and numerical
    simulations to advance the understanding of the mechanisms governing
    EPB seeding, growth, and variability

  * Enhancing forecasting capabilities by integrating artificial
    intelligence and machine learning with observational and modeling data

  * Examining the societal and technological impacts of EPBs on GNSS
    positioning, satellite communications, and space weather services

  * Fostering international collaboration and stimulating new research
    initiatives dedicated to EPB science and its applications


*Workshop registration will be open from 14 February to 14 May 2026.*


Additional information regarding registration, abstract submission, and 
the scientific program is available on the official workshop webpage:
