Fourth bi-annual HELCATS project Meeting

The Fourth Bi-Annual HELCATS Project Meeting and the Second HELCATS Annual Open Workshop were both held in association with the SCOSTEP (Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics) First VarSITI General Symposium held in Albena, Bulgaria. VarSITI (Variability of the Sun and Its Terrestrial Impact) is SCOSTEP.s current international campaign. Holding the HELCATS meetings in association with the SCOSTEP meeting maximised the exposure to the wider community. The Bi-Annual HELCATS Project Meeting was a close session Steering Committee business meeting on the 7th of June; the Annual Open Meeting was a formal session of the VarSITI meeting on the 8th of June.
