Posted by Team INDUS | January 14, 2026 | Meeting Announcements

This is the first announcement of the INDUS Symposium on Heliospheric 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 modeling, and instrumentation in the context of this year’s theme, i.e., Space Weather.

The conference sessions will cover 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. More information can be accessed from our website: https://www.indussolphy.org/isha2026. Further details will be announced shortly.
