XVIIth Hvar Astrophysical Colloquium

Last Updated on Tuesday, 28 September 2021 14:57

Due to still the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying social and economic disruptions, LOC and SOC decided to organize XVIIth HAC meeting ONLINE via Zoom platform. The program is planned for 3 hours every day from Monday to Friday (20. - 24 September 2021) 15:00 - 18:00h Croatia time (CEsT).

The Hvar Astrophysical Colloquium (HAC) is organized every two years in the town of Hvar, Croatia with aim to bring together researchers from Europe and beyond, devoted to instrumentation, fundamental as well as applied research in the field of solar and heliospheric physics, space weather and space climate.

Abstract submission deadline: 1 September 2021.
