[1] Six UN scholarships (PNST) are available for space engineering

Dear Colleague

PNST is short for: United Nations/Japan Long-term Fellowship Programme
"Post-graduate study on Nano-Satellite Technologies".

It is jointly administered by UNOOSA (United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs) and Kyutech (Kyushu Institute of Technology, in Japan) -- since 2013. Each year, six scholarships have been issued to students from non-space-faring nations. Three for masters degrees and three for Phd. The scholarship covers all expenses: tuition and living costs.

Requirements:
- must be passionate about space
- must have a bachelor's degree in some field of engineering or physics
- must be under age 35
- must be in the top 20 percent of your college class
- must be fluent in English

How to apply: Go to here to register and get all the details:
http://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/psa/bsti/fellowships.html

Follow directions and submit your application package before 19 Jan. 2020. Twenty persons will be invited to a Skype interview. Then six will be selected for admissions. If selected, you would start at Kyutech in October of 2020.

[2] CALLISTO status report/newsletter #84

New station in Grotniki, Poland

On August 30, 2019 a new station has been installed and set into operation in Grotniki, Poland. The antenna is a simple G5RV: 20-10m, covering frequency range from 5 MHz up to 53 MHz. To cope with native frequency range of Callisto (45 MHz - 870) a heterodyne up-converter has been switched in-between antenna and Callisto.

Callisto application is a LINUX-version, running on 2nd hand LINUX-computer.

Data transfer is not yet automatic due to missing internetconnection. Internet access will be provide later this year via glass fibre.

[3] COSPAR Capacity-Building Workshop "Coronal and Interplanetary Shocks:
Analysis of Data from Space and Ground based Instruments"
Kodaikanal, India,January 6÷17, 2020

First Announcement

The main objective of the COSPAR Capacity-Building Workshops is to encourage the scientific use of space data by scientists in developing countries. The Workshops tap into the large number of extensive archives of data from past and current space missions and the online analysis software tools via the internet. Thus, a typical workshop aims to provide a highly practical training in the use of one or more of these data archives. … …

[4] Call for manuscripts, space-weather-related, Sun & Geosphere

Dear Colleague

The following manuscripts will be submitted to a special issue of the journal Sun and Geosphere to be published by the end of 2020.

These papers are based on the 2019 ISWI workshop hosted by the Abdus Salam Center for International Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy. This is an open call inviting those interested in submitting a manuscript to the special issue, so long as the manuscript contains original research on any topic in space weather. The deadline for submission is October 31, 2019.

[5] First Annoncement
The 14th Geant4 Space Users Workshop (G4SUW) October 21-23, 2019, Xylokastro, Greece

Dear Colleague

The 14th Geant4 Space Users Workshop (G4SUW) will be held at the Sikyon Coast Hotel and Resort, in Xylokastro, 150 km from Athens International Airport (Greece)

G4SUW is focused on new results on space radiation interaction with components, sensors and shielding analysis, as well as on Geant4-based tools and developments applicable to space missions.

The particular topics of interest for this workshop include:

• Effects on space electronics and science instruments
• Shielding simulations and optimisation
• Software interfacing Geant4 with space environment and/or effects tools (e.g. SPENVIS, FASTRAD)
• Microelectronics micro- & nanodosimetry
• Single Event Effects (SEE) simulation
• Geant4-TCAD coupling
• Simulation of astronaut radiation hazards, including biological micro- & nanodosimetry
• Planetary exploration applications
• Magnetospheric and atmospheric propagation of galactic cosmic radiation and solar energetic particles
• Geant4 toolkit improvements of significant benefit to space applications (e.g. in physics models, simulation speed, geometry treatment)

Registration and abstract submission are open and the relevant links, as well as practical information on the workshop location and accommodation, can be found on the workshop WebPage: https://indico.esa.int/event/304/

Please note that the hotel rooms at the workshop venue are blocked up to September 15th and will be released afterwards.
