International Space Weather Camp 2024 for South Africans (Fully-funded to Germany & USA) Deadline: 11 February, 2024

Applications are open for the International Space Weather Camp 2024. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students to learn all about space science and technology with a focus on space weather, a relatively new and exciting field involving the study of the Sun and its influence on space and the Earth’s upper atmosphere. Understanding space weather has become vital due to its impact on space and ground-based technological systems essential to modern everyday life.

The 2024 International Space Weather Camp will be hosted by the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Germany, and the University of Alabama in Hunstville (UAH), USA, from 17 June to 12 July 2024.

The International Space Weather Camp (formerly JSWSC, Joint Space Weather Summer Camp) was a partnership initially, between the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the University of Rostock and the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UA Huntsville). The collaboration was extended in 2015 with SANSA joining DLR and UA Huntsville in participating and hosting in a trilateral arrangement.
