Event description:

The event aims at discussing the physics of solar and stellar coronae
on the basis of observations obtained from recent X-ray and EUV space 
missions like Chandra, XMM-Newton, Yohkoh, SOHO and TRACE, with emphasis 
on theoretical modelling of coronal loop structures and reconnection 
events. The interplay of solar and stellar physics for a deeper physical
understanding of coronal phenomena will be stressed as well as the
relations of coronal phenomena to basic mechanisms of stellar activity 
(convection, rotation, dynamo action). Topics will include the
interpretation of solar and stellar XUV spectra and of radio data, 
the hydrodynamical modelling of coronal plasmas and transient events 
and the MHD treatment of the reconnection process. The event will 
last 2 full days with an attendance estimated in about 60 to 80 
people. In addition to solicited papers (both review papers and short
oral contributions), time will be devoted to contributed papers (both 
oral and posters) on the most recent observational results and 
theoretical developments. Assuming 4 half-day sessions of 3 hours 
each, we can accomodate in the programme 10 solicited review papers
(30 min each) plus a similar number of solicited oral contributions
(20 min each). The rest will be made of contributed oral presentations
selected on the basis of submitted abstracts. A poster session will
also be available if the number of contributed papers exceeds the
available time for oral contributions. All papers will be refereed and 
published in Advances in Space Research.

Abstract submission

Authors of all papers (both solicited and contributed) must submit
an abstract to Copernicus Gesellshaft with copy to the Main Scientific
Organizer before the deadline of

		           1st May 2002

Instructions on how to prepare the abstract (which will be published
in the conference abstract booklet) can be found in the COSPAR web page:
