Pre-sessions will be held from 9:00 - 10:00am MDT-US on July 12, 19, and 26.

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic the 2022 Heliophysics Summer School will be held in a virtual format. In order to minimize video conference fatigue, the daily sessions will run for approximately 4 1/2 hours each day. To accommodate maximum participation across multiple time zones the sessions will start at 7:30am (MT-US). More information will be provided as available.

Approximately 35 students will be selected through a competitive process organized by the UCAR Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science. The school lasts for eight days, and each participant receives full travel support for airline tickets, lodging and per diem costs.
