Workshop

Planetary Space Plasma Physics

12-13 May 2008, Uppsala

Welcome to a two-day meeting to bring together Swedish space physicists for discussing ongoing research on planetary (non-Earth) plasma environments, particularly results and investigations from our instruments on Cassini, Mars Express, Venus Express and Rosetta.

The cost is 350 SEK per person and day (VAT/moms not included), which will be charged to participants after the workshop.

Location: Scandic Hotel Uplandia, Dragarbrunnsgatan 32, Uppsala
