Workshops are selected by the ISSI directorate in consultation with the Science Committee. The Workshop programme and speakers are selected by a group of highly qualified experts acting as convenors. Each Workshop lasts a week and has up to 45 participants. Workshop participants work together to produce an on-line collection of peer-reviewed articles in Space Science Reviews or Surveys in Geophysics. This collection of review papers is then also published as a volume of the Space Science Series of ISSI (SSSI). All Workshop publications have Open Access status.

The main goal is to bring together researchers working on exocomets, relevant areas of exoplanetary research and protoplanetary disks, as well as Solar System comet researchers. It will provide a forum to discuss recent progress in exocomet research, transfer knowledge between fields and prepare for the utilization of ...

The Workshop will cover the current standing of the accretion disk paradigm, a historical review of progress of our understanding of the engine powering accretion, an overview of observational discoveries shedding light on the accretion geometry, as well as a discussion of possible future directions....
A. Veledina, M. Falanga
This Workshop explores key science questions in the interdisciplinary field of electron-astrophysics. This emerging field studies the fundamental plasma processes in the electron-kinetic regime and their impact on the global dynamics and thermodynamics of space and astrophysical plasmas.

The Workshop will cover a wide range of topics, bringing exoplanet observers and modellers, astrophysicists, planetary scientists, astrobiologists and Earth scientist together to learn about Earth-sized rocky planets in general and discuss the chances of finding extraterrestrial life and strategies of how to best detec...
A. Giménez , T. Spohn, R. Nakamura
This is the first in the new series of Breakthrough Workshops that we are starting at ISSI. Breakthrough Workshops are designed to address one key question in science, by gathering the main experts on the topic, invite them to spend a week in a neutral and welcoming environment, discuss the issues, and produce one high...
A. Nota and P. Oesch
This workshop will support a deeper understanding of the solar and terrestrial interactions through energy and momentum transfer processes between the ionosphere and the upper- and middle atmosphere, thus possibly enabling the detection of signatures by natural and anthropogenic hazards....

Gamma-ray astronomy has experienced a period of very impressive scientific advances and successes during the last decade. In the high-energy range studied with space instruments above 100 MeV, the AGILE and Fermi missions led to important discoveries....
E. Amato, M. Falanga
Severe and ongoing changes in the Earth’s environments have been witnessed over recent years, resulting from anthropogenic climate forcing. For decades now, remote sensing data are being collected from space observations, providing unique insights into the state of the Earth’s spheres....
R. Hohensinn, M. Rast
The Workshop aims at providing a more comprehensive understanding of the nature and elusive origin of magnetic switchbacks as observed in the inner heliosphere, and their role in structuring the solar corona. Switchbacks have received considerable attention since the Parker Solar Probe Mission has found them to be ubiq...
M. Velli, T. Dudok de Wit
The Workshop presents research on primitive meteorites and how results fit into theoretical models of the early solar system. The impact of recent progress in analytics, and of samples returned from asteroidal bodies advances the understanding of the formation of meteorites and their components and ultimately the forma...
