The SCOSTEP/ISWI International School on Space Science will be held at the Smt. Kasturbai Walchand
College of Science & Arts, Sangli, India during November 7 to 17, 2016. The school will be an
excellent learning and enrichment opportunity for graduate students. The school is aimed at students
who are perusing PhD in solar terrestrial physics and space science. Some masters students who have
already some exposures in solar/space physics may also apply. Some financial assistance will be
provided to students and scientists attending the school. Indian students will be reimbursed with train
fare from their home institution. Total number of students to be selected 40 (from India) + 20
international. All selected students will be provided with local hospitality. The School is primarily
sponsored by the Scientific Committee on Solar#8211;Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP) and the International
Space Weather Initiative (ISWI). There are also co-sponsors from many institutions in India and Japan.
