E-SWAN Sustainability Workshop prior to ESWW2026 (1 Nov 2026,  14:00-18:30, Firenze, Italy)

The E-SWAN Sustainability Working Group is delighted to announce that it is organising a Sustainability Workshop on the Sunday afternoon before ESWW 2026 at the Galileo Galilei Institute. The workshop will focus on the impact of space activities on the environment, using a space or climate fresco to illustrate this. The fresco will be followed by an open discussion about moving between academia and industry, with a particular focus on how sustainability aspects are addressed in both communities. All ESWW 2026 participants are welcome to register for the workshop, but places are limited.

Information and application: https://events.spacepole.be/e/eswan_WGsust_workshop2026 

Applications are now open until the maximum number of participants has been reached. 

EOCom booklets now available in Romanian

The EOCOM team is happy to announce that two EOCom booklets are now available in Romanian on the E-SWAN website:

• Can I experience failure of my Navigation Due to the Space Weather ?  which explores how solar activity can disrupt positioning, navigation, and timing systems
• Can I Experience a Blackout Due to Solar Storms?  which explores how solar activity can disrupt power grids, using the 1989 Quebec blackout as a case study

The aim of the EOCOM booklet series is to explain space weather and its everyday impacts in a clear and accessible way and to create a coherent, accessible resource that brings space weather closer to everyday experience.

Each booklet answers common questions, using relatable examples and simple explanations to show how solar and geomagnetic activity can affect people, technology, and industries.

Postdoctoral scholarship (2 years) in high-performance computing (HPC) for space weather applications at the Department of Physics at Umeå University (Sweden)

The Department of Physics at Umeå University, Sweden, offers a postdoctoral scholarship (2 years) in high-performance computing (HPC) for space weather applications.

To enable the future development of powerful space weather forecast models, we must first improve our understanding of the rapidly varying currents in the ionosphere and the mechanisms by which they generate geoelectric fields and geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in the ground and in human infrastructure.

In this project, we will develop efficient HPC algorithms for analyzing ionospheric data from radar systems such as EISCAT_3D and from the Kiruna ALIS_4D Auroral Large Imaging System. We will also develop efficient HPC algorithm for modeling and identifying geoelectric fields and identifying GIC hotspots in Sweden.

Last day to apply is 7 August, 2026.  Starting date is 15 October, 2026, or by agreement.

Expressions of interest sought for application for research professorship at KU Leuven (Belgium)

The Centre for mathematical Plasma Astrophysics at the Mathematics Department of KU Leuven (Belgium) is seeking to expand its permanent staff through a research professorship (“openBOFZAP”, https://research.kuleuven.be/en/career/research-staff/bofzap ). The group currently consists of 5 professors and around 50 PhD students and postdocs. The topics in the group are numerical and theoretical modelling of plasma physics, ranging from the solar corona and solar wind to the Earth’s magnetosphere and plasmas around compact objects. 

With this call, we invite your expression of interest in applying for an open call for a professorship at KU Leuven. Of the submitted expressions of interest, 2 will be selected that can further proceed toward submission to KU Leuven's open call. Of the submissions, at most 1 will be appointed as professor. So, even if successful with this expression of interest, there is no guarantee for a positive outcome of the further selection process. 

The position also comprises teaching, with a reduced teaching load in the first 5 years. It is expected that professors at KU Leuven speak Dutch at B2 level, and if you don’t know Dutch, you will get 5 years to learn it. 

The expected timeline for selected candidates is as follows:

1/9/26: pre-application to openBOFZAP (https://www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jobsite/jobs/60640907)

3/11/26: full application to openBOFZAP

Winter: interview at KU Leuven

March 2027: offers made

September 2027: start of position

If you qualify for Odysseus financing (https://www.fwo.be/nl/ondersteuningsprogramma-s/alle-oproepen/gevestigde-onderzoekers-onderzoeksteams/odysseusprogramma), it will be requested that you apply to it. Then, two additional deadlines will be added:

17/8/26: internal application at KU Leuven for Odysseus grant 

30/9/26: application for Odysseus at FWO

Winter: interview for Odysseus

To facilitate the preselection of the expressions of interest, please fill in the form before 14/06/2026 at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeXIFxSt6tQsMoc_oYgfAtdG-hNUke8SppPt1Dxz1bKDvWfVw/viewform?usp=dialog

DASH/IHDEA 2026: Registration and abstract submission now open (5-9 October 2026, Dublin, Ireland)

Abstracts are now being accepted for DASH/IHDEA 2026, with submissions due by 29 July 2026 11.59pm (Europe/Dublin timezone). Meeting registration is open until 4 September 2026. DASH/IHDEA 2026 will take place October 5–9, 2026, at the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin, Ireland, hosted by the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS).

The Data, Analysis, and Software in Heliophysics (DASH) workshop brings together software developers, data practitioners, and scientists to present and discuss algorithms, software, analysis methods, data systems, and standards used throughout heliophysics. DASH especially aims to connect practitioners and promote collaboration across the international heliophysics software community.

The co-located International Heliophysics Data Environment Alliance (IHDEA) meeting encourages the use of common standards and services to enable data sharing, improve interoperability, and enhance science.

All ranges of experience are welcome. The program will include invited and contributed presentations, poster sessions, community discussions, and opportunities for collaboration. See the website for session topics. General submissions are also welcome.
