  • General Information About the Conference Site

Armenia is located in the southern Caucasus. It is a beautiful country with a history and culture that dates to ancient times and has evolved to match modern achievements in the arts, sciences, and business. Numerous monuments and masterpieces from the Ancient era and Middle Ages can be found mixed with the modern throughout the country and near the conference site.

Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, is one of the oldest cities in the world. The earliest recorded settlement there dates back to 782 BC. Museums, Opera house, Symphony hall, movie theaters, beautiful architecture, numerous festivals make it a pleasant place for the visitor

Biblical Mt. Ararat in all its splendor has an everlasting presence from any vantage point in Yerevan and vicinity. The 4090 meter high Mt. Aragats is the tallest mountain in Armenia. It reaches for the sky to the north-west of Yerevan.

The high altitude plateau of Mt. Aragats and also its lower slopes have become the site of several scientific research centers since the 1940-ies. One of these centers is the Cosmic Ray Division of the Alikhanyan Physics Institute, with research centers at two locations -Aragats at 3200 m, and Nor Amberd at 2000 m above sea level. The Nor Amberd International Conference Centre is in a lovely spot, just below the tree line.

End of September is the best season in Armenia with average air temperature of 20C in Yerevan and 15C at Nor Amberd.


  • Participation is by invitation

Invitations will be sent out after deliberations with the International Advisory Board of the conference, to be held following the pre-registration deadline.

  • Scientific Rationale
Investigation of the Solar Extreme Events (SEE) is important for several reasons:
It provides us with unique information about violent processes in the solar corona, including the mechanisms of particle acceleration and Coronal Mass Ejection (CME);

The study of the propagation of huge amounts of solar plasma in the interplanetary space can shed light on the interactions with the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) and ambient population of the Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR);
Interplanetary shocks and CMEs, along with solar particle and electromagnetic emissions trigger various dynamic
processes in the Earth's magnetosphere, causing global geo-effective effects, including e.g. geomagnetic storms,
heating of the upper atmosphere, changing of the electrodynamic properties of the ionosphere, and creation of the
geomagnetically induced surface currents. All these constitute conditions of Space Weather (SW), changing dramatically
with SEE development.
Space Weather can influence the performance and reliability of space-borne and ground-based technology systems and
can endanger human health and life. It is of major importance to establish accurate methods for monitoring and
forecasting the strength of SW disturbances and to identify the mechanisms of the various SW effects.
The solar extreme events of October-November, 2003, known as the Halloween events have provided us with rich
information to study and better understand space weather. The Moscow symposium SEE-2004 (Moscow, July 2004) focused on comprehensive discussions of solar/heliospheric and magnetospheric aspects of these events. The data obtained onboard numerous satellites and from ground-based observatories were presented, discussed and interpreted both from experimentaland theoretical points of view. The COSPAR congress (Paris, July, 2004) and the European Cosmic Ray Symposium (Florence, September, 2004) also demonstrated a large interest and the continuing activity of the community to understand in detail the 2003 Halloween events. New attempts to develop analysis techniques to incorporate data from space-born and surface instruments open new perspectives in the understanding and forecasting of the consequences of SEEs.
In 2004 several extreme events from the end of July to mid November provided us with new examples of the severe
Geospace Storms and Forbush decreases. Analysis of these events is under way and will provide extremely interesting
basis for the understanding of SEEs and their effects.

The Aim of SEE-05 is Twofold:

1) Provide a wide forum for discussion of recent Solar Extreme Events and their
impact on technological systems and human environment, and
2) Discuss directions for future research, and to promote co-operation between groups
with different research interests from different countries.

The Following Topics will be Covered in SEE-05:

Energetic processes on the Sun during the extreme events
Propagation of the solar energetic particles and Interplanetary CMEs
Magnetospheric response to the solar extreme events
Methodologies of forecasting of Space Weather conditions
Effects of Space Weather on technology infrastructure and human environment
