2. Vos activités de diffusion des connaissances : questionnaire
Chers collègues de la communauté INSU (tout statut et tout métier confondus),
dans le cadre de la prospective INSU 2019, nous souhaitons établir un bilan statistique (donc anonyme) des activités individuelles des collègues dans nos laboratoires et OSU en matière de diffusion des connaissances, partage, médiation scientifique, et plus généralement liens avec la société sous toutes les formes.
Nous souhaitons en particulier proposer un bilan sur les motivations des personnels de recherche (pas seulement chercheurs ou enseignant-chercheurs), les freins éventuellement rencontrés, et le type d’action menées.
Le questionnaire anonyme est ici :
https://enquete.cnrs-dir.fr/index.p...
Nous vous saurions gré de bien vouloir remplir et inciter vos collègues à remplir ce questionnaire - qui est rapide à compléter - avant le 28 février 2019 20h.
Vous comprenez l’importance de mesurer et faire valoir le grand impact sociétal de l’astronomie auprès de diverses instances, aussi nous comptons sur votre soutien pour remplir et relayer l’information auprès des collègues, et vous remercions par avance.
Nous nous tenons à votre dispostion pour d’éventuelles questions ou discussion.
Bien cordialement,
Pour le groupe H de prospective INSU :

3. Workshop Europlanet Cometary Plasma Science Workshop, Helsinki, Finland, March 28-29, 2019
We welcome contributions to the Europlanet sponsored cometary plasma science workshop hosted by the Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) on March 28-29, 2019 in Helsinki, Finland. The scope of the workshop covers all cometary plasma physics related topics, including the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and the Rosetta mission, other comets and missions as well as remote sensing, theory and laboratory studies. The organizer of the workshop is the Aalto University (Espoo, Finland) and it will be held at the Finnish Meteorological Institute at the Kumpula Campus in Helsinki.
For further information and registration please follow this link :

5. Atelier "Hot topics in Modern Cosmology - SW13" du 5 au 11 mai 2019, IESC Cargèse
Spontaneous Workshop (SW) brings together specialists on recent insights in Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology. The aim is to stimulate debate on common topics in views of providing us with innovating ideas. The workshop’s organization is based on an optimal number of concise presentations and enough space for discussion on emerging problems in order to encourage interactions among participants.

6. 4th COSPAR Symposium, Small satellites for sustainable science and development, Herziya, Israel, November 4-8, 2019
New Astrophysical Challenges with Nano and Micro Satellites
MSO Michel Boër, DSO Pietro Ubertini
Abstract deadline : April 30, 2019
The past three decades history of space astronomy has shown how important is the access to the Gamma-ray, X-ray, UV-optical, near IR spectrum from space. The combined use of large ground based facilities and large space observatories has played a key role in the advance of astrophysics by providing access to the entire electromagnetic spectrum, allowing high sensitivity observations from the lower radio wavelength to the higher energy gamma rays. More recently the discovery of Gravitational Waves by the Virgo and LIGO observatories, and of the electromagnetic counterpart of the sources, have opened the era of multimessenger astrophysics. The combination of the information conveyed by these new messengers, neutrinos, gravitational waves, high energy particles, with the photon at all wavelengths, open a completely new view of the Universe and to the fundamental laws of physics. In few years from now large facilities will be launched, such as LISA, Athena, SVOM, JWST extending our access to the Universe. At the same time, new ideas of instrumentation are flourishing for launch on nano-satellites (cubesat), or micro-satellites. The workshops aims to present new concepts of missions on small satellites (nano or micro), either ideas, projects, or already approved instruments, the associated technology, and their scientific case. We expect to gather scientists, engineers, and industrial builders and operators. We hope that this common approach will result in new ideas and collaborations.
