Keynote talks

We are delighted to confirm the following keynote speakers:

  • Ziyu HUANG (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA)
  • Philippe CLAEYS (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium)
  • Jean-Yves CHAUFRAY (LATMOS, France)

 

Oral sessions

Our oral sessions will follow a flexible format. No abstract submission is required at this stage. Instead, participants are asked to provide a provisional title when registering, as an indication of their intention to present.

 

Breakout sessions

These sessions will be dedicated to discussion and idea exchange. Each topic will be introduced by a speaker to initiate the conversation. Participants are strongly encouraged to share topics they are interested in and would like to adress during registration.

 

Special closing session: ISSI Team Proposal

The workshop will conclude with a collaborative session aimed at drafting an ISSI team proposal, in preparation for the submission deadline (March 13, 2026). See the Call for Proposals for International Teams in the Space & Earth Sciences.
