INDUS Symposium on Heliosphysics Advancements (ISHA), an online-only conference dedicated to early-career researchers in space physics. ISHA is designed as a focused and accessible forum for PhD and Postdoctoral researchers to present their work and engage in in-depth scientific discussion.

By being fully online, ISHA aims to reduce barriers to participation and facilitate broad international involvement, particularly from researchers with limited access to travel funding. The meeting will bring together scientists working across solar, heliospheric, and magnetospheric physics, with an emphasis on linking observations, theory, numerical modelling, and instrumentation in the context of this year’s theme, i.e., Space Weather.

The conference sessions will cover the following topics:
* Solar Interior and Surface
* Solar Atmosphere
* Solar Eruptive Phenomena
* Heliospheric Structures and Transients
* Magnetosphere-Thermosphere-Ionosphere and their Coupling
* Space Weather Forecasting and Operations

The scientific program will feature invited overview talks, contributed oral and flash presentations, and dedicated discussion sessions designed to foster interaction and interdisciplinary exchange.

In addition, panel discussions are planned on:
* Career prospects for early-career heliophysics researchers
* Upcoming and future space missions
* Widely used and emerging software and modelling tools in heliophysics
