KSPA 2021 Conference: Fluid dynamics of the Sun and Stars
Goettingen, June 7th - June 11th 2021.
A conference is hosted in the first week of the Kavli Summer Program, and features invited pedagogical lectures, and contributed talks presenting state-of-the-art research on the program topic. Participation to the conference is open to everyone who wishes to attend. All presentations will be published online.
All participants of the program are strongly encouraged to attend the main lectures in real time. These will be held every day in the time slot referred to as "Everyone". These lectures are open to everyone who pre-registered for the conference.
Group meetings / social events that are convenient for 2 time zones (US/Europe/India, Europe/Asia/Australia, Asia/Australia/US) will be held at separate times, enabling participants to meet each other and refine projects. These group meetings are reserved to the students and invited long-term program participants.
The time zones descriptions can be found on the Virtual Participant Information Page. Also, this PDF shows a grid-version of the Week 1 schedule.
