THE MODERN ERA OF HELIO- AND ASTEROSEISMOLOGY CONFERENCE - GRANTS AVAILABLE!
We invite scientists and young researchers interested in
helioseismology, asteroseismology and the investigation of the
interior of the Sun and stars to participate in the Conference 'The
Modern Era of Helio- and Asteroseismology'.
**EAST Consortium and HELAS support young researchers with more grants**
The conference is organised by the European Science Foundation (ESF)
in partnership with the Leopold-Franzens-Universität Innsbruck (LFUI)
and it will take place on **20-25 May 2012** in Obergurgl, Austria.
**Application deadline 20 February 2012**
Further information about how to apply can be found below and at

**The Modern Era of Helio- and Asteroseismology Conference** - 20-25 May 2012
**Chaired by:** Dr. Markus Roth, Kiepenheuer-Institut für Sonnenphysik, DE
**Co-chaired by:** Prof. Oskar von der Lühe, Kiepenheuer-Institut für
Sonnenphysik, DE
Programme
Helioseismology and asteroseismology are the only means to investigate
the interior of the Sun and stars. They are crucial for understanding
the structure and evolution of stars, which produce all chemical
elements in the universe heavier than helium, and which host and
influence planets which may carry life. Understanding the physics of
the Sun's interior is essential for understanding the solar dynamo and
consequently for predicting solar magnetic activity, which has a
severe impact on the operation of space missions. Understanding the
interior of the stars is essential for understanding those
astronomical objects that host and influence planets. [[**Please see

Sponsor a Conference
This conference will be providing the opportunity for leading
scientists and young researchers to meet for discussions on the most
recent developments in their fields of research. We enable
collaboration between international scientists from EU, first world
and emerging countries which acts as a catalyst for creating new
synergistic global contacts across disciplines.
We invite you to join us in harnessing this great potential, working
towards an even more cohesive scientific force in Europe and beyond by
contributing to our intense, dynamic and fun events.
