Summer School
-------------
on
MHD Reconnection in Solar and Magnetospheric Plasmas
----------------------------------------------------
2 - 13 September 1996
St. Andrews, UK.
Second Announcement
1. Introduction and aims of summer school
This summer school is the first of a series of three annual schools on
aspects of MHD in astrophysical, laboratory, magnetospheric and solar
plasmas. These schools provide a basic grounding in the applications of MHD
and are aimed at graduate students and post-doctoral workers who are new to
these research areas. The first school is jointly funded by the UK Particle
Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC) and the European Union (EU)
under the TMR programme.
There is an upper limit of 70 participants and preference will be given to
PPARC students and EU students and postdoctoral workers. Participants who
are women researchers or who are from less favoured regions of the EU are
particularly welcome. It is hoped to cover the costs of attendance at the
school and contribute towards travel costs. If numbers permit,
participants from non-EU countries paying the full costs of the school will
be welcome.
The school will last two weeks and will cover a wide variety of topics
concerned with MHD Reconnection, as described in the provisional programme
below.
Provisional Timetable
(The timetable for each day is 9.00 lecture 1, 10.30 coffee, 11.00 lecture
2, 12.30 lunch, 2.00 lecture 3, 3.30 tea, 4.00 lecture 4. Each lecture is 1

Travel to St Andrews
St Andrews lies about 60 miles north-east of Edinburgh and is not the
easiest place to get to, particularly the last few miles! However, the main
methods of transport are given below. Do NOT book any travel until it has
been confirmed that you have been accepted for the Summer School. This
should be about the beginning of July.
Air
The nearest airport is Edinburgh airport with some direct flights to parts
of the EU. However, it is likely that you will need to fly to London,
Manchester or Birmingham and then take an internal flight. From Edinburgh
airport you can either hire a car and drive to St Andrews (it takes between
an hour and an hour and a half) or take the airport bus into Edinburgh and
get the train (either Haymarket or Waverley stations) to Leuchars.
Train
The nearest railway station is Leuchars and it is on the main east coast
line from Edinburgh to Dundee and Aberdeen. From Leuchars, which is an
airforce base, take either a taxi (nine pounds) or bus (one pound) to St
Andrews. It may be possible to arrange for transport from Leuchars if we
know your time of arrival.
Bus
There is a direct bus service from Edinburgh to St Andrews from the main
bus station, St Andrews Square bus station, in Edinburgh. This costs about
four pounds and takes nearly 2 hours.
Car
The simplest route, but maybe not the quickest, is to take the M90 north
from Edinburgh, over the Forth Road Bridge, and leave the motorway at
Junction 8. Then follow the A91 through Gateside, Auchtermuchty, Cupar and
Guardbridge to St Andrews.

\noindent
{\bf Generalities}. Regular triennial meetings are organized by the board
of the Solar Physics Section of the European
Physical Society and the European Astronomical Society.
The 8$^{th}$ European Meeting on Solar Physics will be held close to
Thessaloniki, Greece and will cover a variety of issues, from the solar
interior to the heliosphere and cosmic rays. Particular emphasis will be
given to the Ulysses results. Invited talks, oral presentations and posters
will cover most of research activity in solar and space physics.
\vspace{0.5cm}
\noindent
{\bf Meeting format}. Each of the seven scientific sessions of the
meeting will consist of two invited review talks,
several oral contributed papers and a poster session.
The time allocated for the oral presentations, including discussion, is
40 minutes for invited reviews and 20 minutes for oral contributions.
The space available for each poster is equivalent to {\bf six} A4 pages.
\vspace{0.5cm}
\noindent
{\bf Registration fee}. The registration fee is 120 USD, which includes the
use of the conference facilities, coffee-tea breaks and some social events.
Travel checks in USD will be accepted, as well as
cash in any European convertible currency. Credit cards cannot be
used for the registration fee.
\vspace{0.5cm}
\noindent
{\bf Proceedings}. The invited reviews will be published in the
Springer-Verlag {\it Lecture Notes in Physics} series (eds:
C.E. Alissandrakis, G. Simnett, L. Vlahos) detailed instructions
to the authors will be given by the editors during the meeting.
\noindent
The contributed
papers (including posters) will be published
in a special volume of {\it Solar Physics}.
All conference
papers will be handled in the same way as regular papers
submitted to {\it Solar Physics}, i.e. they will be refereed, and must
have scientific quality comparable to regular {\it Solar Physics}
papers. Papers which will not reach this standard cannot be
accepted for publication and will be only announced by title as
"presented at the conference; for preprints ask xxx". Authors of
unfinished papers or papers with preliminary results are advised
not to submit any manuscript for publication, but rather give an
indication where the final version of their study will be
published or submitted. This can be then added to the reference
to their presentation.
The maximum length of papers submitted to {\it Solar Physics} will
be announced during the conference, where the authors will also
obtain further instructions for publication. Deadline for
submission of all papers will be six weeks after the conference.
In that case the special volume could appear early in 1997.
The Proceedings organizers are P. Heinzel and G. Simnett.
\noindent
An Abstracts booklet, with all the accepted contributions,
will be distributed during the meeting.
\vspace{0.5cm}
\noindent
{\bf Accommodation}. All participants will stay at {\it Pallini Beach Hotel},
the meeting place. The hotel is located in the peninsula of Kassandra
in Halkidiki at Kallithea village
and can comfortably host about 200 participants.
Its facilities include a large conference hall, several smaller conference
rooms, restaurants, bars, private beach, outdoor swimming pool. A special
agreement has been negotiated for half-board per day:
Single room: 65 USD , Double room: 50 USD/person.
\noindent
Please, complete the attached hotel and travel information form and
return it to SPM-96, if possible by fax or express mail,
not later than {\bf April 17th}. {\it Forms received after that date
will not be considered}.
\vspace{0.5cm}
\noindent
{\bf Financial Support}. Those who have applied for financial support
will be informed by a separate e-mail message.

\framebox[15cm][c]{\large\bf Travel Information}
\end{center}
\vspace{0.5cm}
\noindent
{\bf Travelling to Thessaloniki}. The easiest and more comfortable way
to reach Thessaloniki is by plane. There are several daily flights connecting
Thessaloniki with Athens airport, from where international flights to any
desired destination are operated. There are also a few regular
flights connecting
directly Thessaloniki with some major European cities, operating all the
year. Quite good train connection is available from Athens. The
travelling time by train is about 7 hours.
\vspace{0.5cm}
\noindent
{\bf How to reach Pallini Beach Hotel}. The meeting place {\it Pallini
Beach Hotel} is about 100 km from Thessaloniki. Since it is
not easy to reach Pallini Beach Hotel by public transportation, we
are organizing a bus shuttle from the airport on Monday 13th.
The timetable of the bus shuttle service will be scheduled according
to the majority of arrivals. A
welcome desk at Thessaloniki airport will be indicated by {\bf SPM-96}
posted signs.
\begin{center}
{\it Please, help the LOC by giving all necessary details on your
travel plans.}
\end{center}
\noindent
The taxi fare from Thessaloniki airpot to the Pallini Beach Hotel
is approximately 60 USD.
\vspace{0.5cm}
\noindent
{\bf Passport and Visa}. For EU citizens a valid passport is sufficient. A
Visa is required for participants from the former Soviet Union and other
eastern countries. Participants from other countries
should contact the Greek embassy or consulate at their
country for more information.
\vspace{0.5cm}
\noindent
{\bf Weather}. In May the climate is warm (by northern standard) but
pleasant, so that light clothing is suggested. The minimum and the maximum
average daily temperatures in the last 5 years have been $17^o$ C and $24^o$
C and the rain expectation is less than 10 $\%$.
