<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><font size="5">The International Space Science Institute–Beijing
(ISSI-BJ) is calling for proposals to host <b><i>high-level
Workshops</i></b> at its premises in the second half of 2025
or 2026.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font size="5"> </font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><font size="5">ISSI-BJ offers an international platform for research
and discussions of topics across the remit of the space sciences
(solar and plasma physics, the solar–terrestrial interface,
Earth science from space, planetary science, exoplanets,
space-based astrophysics) in a stimulating, politically neutral
environment. All program activities must be multilateral (with
participants representing <b><i>a minimum of four nationalities</i></b>)
and interdisciplinary. ISSI-BJ shares its Science Committee with
ISSI in Bern, Switzerland. The Science Committee assesses
proposals for scientific meetings twice a year, with their
assessment focusing on scientific excellence.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font size="5"> </font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><font size="5">ISSI-BJ Workshops are five-day conferences hosting <b>up
to 50</b> scientists, including early-career researchers.
Participation is <b>by invitation only</b>; selection of
participants is done by an international team of conveners (the
“Scientific Organising Committee”). All participants are invited
to participate in the drafting of one or more review articles
which will, in first instance, be published (following peer
review) in <i>Space Science Reviews</i> (2023 Impact Factor:
9.1), for eventual bundling of the chapters into a volume of the
<i>Space Science Series of ISSI</i>.</font></p>
