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.
