Solar and Space Physics Summer Schools: Goals, Curriculum, and Impact in the S&SP Community

Session ID#: 158878

Session Description:
The 2013 Solar and Space Physics Decadal Survey identified 10 regular summer schools in the US and many others internationally devoted to graduate-level Solar and Space Physics topics that were regularly held. Their scope spanned from observational techniques of specific research facilities to focused science topics of S&SP regions and processes. This session brings together summer school organizers, lecturers, and the broader heliophysics higher education community to learn about each other’s programs’ goals, curriculum and purpose and begin the formation of S&SP Summer School community to assess impact and share best practices.
