The WaLSA team has received support for the meeting from the Research Council of Norway through its Centres of Excellence scheme, project number 262622 (the Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics).
The entirely interactive meeting was aimed at improving scientific knowledge and stumulating new research objectives under the proposed "umbrella topics" in the field of MHD waves in the lower solar atmosphere. From the challenges raised during the meeting, several new (original) science projects were created.
See below (the accordion menu) for more information about the meeting.
