ESMN schools

One action of the ESMN Training Programme concerned the organisation of advanced schools.  There have been six ESMN schools in total.

The first three ESMN schools were organised in Oslo (1999), Tenerife (2000), and Dwingeloo (2002) during the initial ESMN incarnation as European Solar Magnetometry Network.

ESMN-4, the first school of the second ESMN, was organised by and took place at the Oslo Institute of Theoretical Astronomy during June 2 - 13, 2003.  The school title was em Radiative Transfer and Numerical Magnetohydrodynamics.  It taught basic understanding of radiation, radiative transfer, polarimetry and numerical magnetohydrodynamics in the context of stellar atmospheres.  Special emphasis was given to applications through practical work with numerical methods.  More detail is available here.

ESMN-5, the second school of the second ESMN, was integrated into the regular sequence of Canary Island Winter Schools organized by the IAC as number XV, Mission and Payload Definition in Space Sciences.  It was a two-week course during 17 - 28 November, 2003 in which many aspects of space science missions were treated by experts from around the world, concentrating on the ESA program Cosmic Vision 2020 programme.  More information is found here and in the detailed school program.

ESMN-6, the third school of the second ESMN, taught “Solar Magnetometry and Solar Magnetism” and took place at Tatranska Lomnica during November 3 - 10, 2004.  It was an extensive and intensive introduction in the methodology and results of current solar physics research concentrating on solar magnetism.  More information is given here.
