2. ANNOUNCEMENT : IAU Symposium 300 in Paris, France ----------------------------------------------------

"Nature of solar prominences and their role in Space Weather". 10-14 June 2013 in Paris (France)

Dear colleagues,

This is the first announcement for the Symposium 300 of the International Astronomical Union, entitled "Nature of solar prominences and their role in Space Weather". The conference will be held in Paris at the Ecole de Suprieure de Chimie (France), 10-14 June 2013.

The web site is open! Key Topics: 1/ Prominences : formation, dynamics, environment 2/ Prominence plasma properties, including prominence seismology 3/ Magnetic field : measurements, topology, support 4/ Large-scale patterns and cyclic evolution 5/ Prominence destabilization, CMEs, reconstruction in 3D 6/ ICMEs in the heliosphere, magnetic clouds; their impact on the Earth environment 7/ Stellar quiescent and eruptive prominences and stellar CMEs 8/ Requirements for future instrumentation and prospects for future missions

* Confirmed speakers:* G.Aulanier, J. Ballester, T.Berger, P. Dmoulin, S. Gibson, S.Gunar, J.Karpen, B.Lavraud, B. Lites, N. Lugaz, P. Martens, S.Parenti, E. Priest, A.van Ballegooijen, T.Shibata, A.Vidotto

*Important dates:* * Early registration opens: 1 Nov 2012 * Deadline for IAU grant application: 15 Jan 2013 * Decision for IAU financial support: 01 Feb 2013 * Deadline for early registration: 01 Apr 2013 * Abstract deadline for contributed talks: 10 Mar 2013 * Decision of the program: end April 2013 * Deadline for proceedings submission: 15 Sep 2013

We hope to see as many of you as possible in Paris next year! Best regards, Brigitte Schmieder (on behalf of the SOC and LOC)
