Dear colleagues,

I have the pleasure to extend a small number of personal invitations 
(including in-kind support; see below) to attend the ISSI-Beijing 
Workshop on “Space based Astrophysics in the Ultraviolet”, to be held at 
the ISSI-Beijing premises from *14 to 18 April 2025*.

ISSI-Beijing offers an international platform for research and 
discussions of topics across the remit of the space sciences in a 
stimulating, politically neutral environment. All of our programme 
activities must, by definition, be multilateral (with participants 
representing a minimum of 4 nationalities) and interdisciplinary.

“Workshops” in the ISSI-Beijing context are 5-day conferences hosting up 
to 50 scientists, including early-career researchers. Participation is 
by invitation only; selection of participants is done by an 
international team of conveners (see the Workshop webpage for their 
names). Instead of conference proceedings, all participants are invited 
to participate in the drafting of one or more review articles that will 
in first instance be published (following peer review) in /Space Science 
Reviews/ (https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/pptACgZ0N1iYPD1MQTohAF4hg64?domain=link.springer.com 2023 Impact Factor: 
9.1), for eventual bundling of the chapters into a volume of the /Space 
Science Series of ISSI/.

At ISSI-Beijing we want our participants to focus on scientific 
excellence; we deal with the exploitation of space-science data (as well 
as with complementary models and ground-based observations, where 
relevant) and with forecasting to future mission ideas, all focused on 
the science. We don’t engage in spacecraft design/engineering or 
technology transfer activities. (These meetings comply with Australian 
restrictions on countering foreign interference.)

All non-local participants are offered hotel accommodation (with 
breakfast) in the four-star Park Plaza hotel (a 5–10 min walk from the 
ISSI-Beijing premises;

free of charge, from the night before the first day of the Workshop 
until the last night of the Workshop. We also offer a welcome banquet 
and lunches. Travel to Beijing is not covered.

At this stage, we have a small number (5-6) of open slots. In first 
instance, we are looking to invite Australian colleagues to attend, with 
the aim of strengthening Australia-China collaborations. Any interested 
colleagues should contact us by email, to richard.de-grijs at issibj.ac.cn 
-- please include a brief motivation and explain how you see your 
science fit into the Workshop's overall theme. Applications will be 
dealt with on a rolling basis. Early-career researchers are particularly 
encouraged to apply.

On behalf of the Workshop conveners,
Richard de Grijs (Workshop Chair & Executive Director of ISSI-Beijing)
