SCOSTEP organizes the Solar–Terrestrial Physics (STP) symposium once every four years.
SCOSTEP is engaged in three major activities: long-term scientific programs, capacity building, and public outreach. The scientific programs are interdisciplinary in nature, involving scientists from around the world. They are designed to advance our understanding of the solar–terrestrial relationship using space- and ground-based observations, cutting-edge models and theory. The ways the Sun affects the Earth and its environment over various time scales is the underlying theme of the scientific programs pursued under SCOSTEP.
SCOSTEP’s 16th Quadrennial Solar-Terrestrial Physics (STP-16) Symposium will be held
at the Makedonia Palace Hotel in Tessaloniki, Greece, on June 1-5, 2026.
The LOC chair is Dr. Ioannis A. Daglis, Professor of Space Physics at the National &
Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA). A school for students/early-career scientists
will be held on May 31, 2026, at the same place.
At the current stage, please save these dates for STP-16.
