CEDAR email: Call for Abstracts: IAGA/ICMA/SCOSTEP 10th Workshop on Vertical Coupling in the Atmosphere-Ionosphere System

[Loren Chang]

Dear Colleagues,

Registration for the IAGA/ICMA/SCOSTEP 10th Workshop on Vertical Coupling in the Atmosphere-Ionosphere System (VCAIS10) is now open. The VCAIS10 workshop will be held from June 10 - 15, 2026 at National Central University, Taoyuan City, Taiwan. We welcome both theoretical and experimental results from the lower atmosphere through the upper atmosphere and magnetosphere, covering dynamical, chemical, and electrodynamical coupling processes of natural and anthropogenic sources, as well as presentations on new observational and modelling initiatives, instruments, and tools.

This biennial workshop rotates between different locations, with the past four workshops being in Canada (2024), Hungary (2022), Germany (2018), and Taiwan (2016). There was a consensus during the working group of the 2024 workshop that the 2026 workshop should return to Asia, to further engage the regional aeronomy community. VCAIS10 is locally organized and hosted in Taiwan by National Central University (NCU) on the NCU campus in the Zhongli District of Taoyuan City, Taiwan. We look forward to welcoming you again after 10 years!

Important Dates:
January 15, 2026: Registration, abstract submission, and payment page open.
March 31, 2026: Deadline for travel support applications.
April 15, 2026: Deadline for registration and abstract submission.

Registration Fee: 
Non-Student: NT$7500.
Student: NT$6500.

A limited amount of funds from the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA) and the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) are available to sponsor student and young scientist travel support. Please see the Registration website for more details on eligibility and the application process.
