[Loops] Call for Nominations to the Coronal Loops Workshops Steering Committee

[Stephen Bradshaw]

Dear Colleagues,

 

The Coronal Loops Workshop series, inaugurated in Paris (2002) with the most
recent Workshop in Palermo (2017), has been tremendously successful in
bringing together researchers from all over the world to discuss current
problems related to the physics of closed magnetic structures in the solar
corona, and to present their progress toward solving them. The Workshops
have also provided an excellent venue for young researchers to participate
in discussions and to showcase their work.

 

The Steering Committee for the Coronal Loops Workshops is responsible for
soliciting and selecting Workshop proposals, and assisting / advising each
Scientific Organizing Committee in choosing a topical, over-arching theme
and setting an agenda and goals for their Workshop.

 

The current members of the Steering Committee are: Steve Bradshaw [Chair];
Philippa Browning; Ineke De Moortel; Giulio Del Zanna; Viggo Hansteen;
Susanna Parenti; Paola Testa; Ignacio Ugarte-Urra; Nicholeen Viall.

 

Three members of the Steering Committee (Susanna Parenti, Ignacio
Ugarte-Urra, and Nicholeen Viall) have reached the end of their 6 year
terms. Since they were elected in 2012 they have been involved in the
organization of 3 Loops Workshops (Loops VI - VIII, not forgetting that
Inaki also Chaired Loops V) and the Loops community owes them a great deal
of thanks and appreciation for their tremendously hard work on our behalf.

 

It is now time to elect 3 new members of the Steering Committee. We are
soliciting nominations and self-nominations, the latter are particularly
encouraged, to help ensure a diverse pool of candidates to represent the
interests of our community, for scientists who are active in the broad field
of the physics of closed magnetic structures in the solar corona, to serve
on the Coronal Loops Workshops Steering Committee for a 6 year term.

 

Please submit your nominations and self-nominations to Steve Bradshaw
(Steering Committee Chair:  <mailto:stephen.bradshaw at rice.edu>
stephen.bradshaw at rice.edu) no later than Monday April 30th. The current
members of the Steering Committee will vote per the Bylaws and the
newly-elected members will be duly contacted and announced directly
thereafter.

 

With best wishes,

 

Steve Bradshaw

(on behalf of the Coronal Loops Workshops Steering Committee)
