Unveiling Plasma Energization and Energy Transport Through Multiscale Observations. The Community meet to foster Plasma Observatory scientific ambitions.

12 – 14 November 2024
Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI) – Rome, Italy

The Plasma Observatory Workshop is aimed at providing an update on progress on the mission study, at sharing community efforts on Plasma Observatory science and, most importantly, at fostering interaction and participation of the larger science community with the current Plasma Observatory science and instrument teams. To do  this, the first part of the workshop will be dedicated to the payload and mission profile presentations. Several sections will be dedicated to the contributions regarding the state of the art of the understanding of energization and transport processes in the PO key science regions. Finally, contributions are also encouraged on important PO mission aspects as the numerical simulation support, novel and advanced analysis methods, PO impacts on plasma astrophysics and additional science, ground-based coordination as well as public outreach.

Final program

Venue

Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI) is located in Via del Politecnico in the southeast outskirts of Rome and is close to the city of Frascati, part of the Castelli Romani area.

Accomodation

To ensure a comfortable stay during the workshop, we would like to offer some suggestions for selecting your accommodation.

You can decide to stay in Rome or Frascati.

If you decide to stay in Rome, we recommend choosing a hotel near the following metro A stations:  Piazza della Repubblica or Barberini (see map).

Staying in this area provides several advantages:

Easy access to public transportation: Roma Termini is a major hub for trains, buses, and metro lines. It connects directly to Metro Line A, which offers convenient travel to many key points in the city.

Direct connections to the airport: The Leonardo Express train service runs regularly between Termini and Fiumicino Airport (Leonardo da Vinci), making it a hassle-free option for airport transfers.

Proximity to landmarks: The station is centrally located, allowing quick access to several important sites, restaurants, and shopping areas.

Here some options:

Near Piazza della Repubblica

–Hotel Mascagni, Via Vittorio Emanuele Orlando 90

–Hotel Britannia, Via Napoli 64

Near Piazza Barberini

–Albergo Ottocento, Via Dei Cappuccini 19

–Stendhal Hotel, Via Del Tritone 113

If instead you decide to stay in Frascati, nice options could be:

–Hotel Colonna, Piazza del Gesù 12

–Hotel Cacciani, Via A. Diaz 13/15

Looking forward to welcoming you to the workshop!
