<span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:14px;">The International Meridian Circle Program is a
geospace science initiative </span><span style="font-size:14px;"></span><span style="font-size:14px;">, aimed at
exploring the phenomena, drivers, and physical processes associated with space
weather. IMCP employs global networks of ground-based observatories and other
observational and modeling platforms to carry out its research. As part of this
mission, IMCP is committed to fostering collaboration among the international
space weather science community and to educating and training the next generation
of scientists. IMCP supports not only their individual scientific research but
also encourages them to engage in international cooperation.</span></span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:0cm;">
<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:14px;">The school will consist of week-long intensive course
lectures and research projects. The courses and projects cover scientific
topics from geospace storm effects, radio and optical remote sensing of the
upper atmosphere, geomagnetism, and solar and interplanetary physics, as well
as modeling and data science aspects. The school will provide ample
opportunities for the students to interact with lecturers and senior
scientists. The students will be assigned mini projects to work on as a team
and present their research at the conclusion of the school and forum. The
school is most suited for Ph.D. students, postdocs, and early-career
scientists.</span>
