*** This meeting is going ahead as planned for those that wish to attend. The organisers will also run a Zoom teleconference from the meeting room for the entire day. There is a theoretical limit of 300 users, so they are encouraging people to access the teleconference thoughtfully. The details of how to access the Zoom meeting (just needs a computer) are given below. Use the Zoom meeting link below and use computer audio. Please mute your microphone if you are not presenting or asking a question. If you have any questions or issues please contact the organisers.***

Meeting ID: 884 920 9752
Organisers:Tim Horbury (Imperial College) t.horbury@imperial.ac.uk; Stuart Bale (Berkeley) bale@berkeley.edu; David Burgess (QM) d.burgess@qmul.ac.uk .
The solar wind creates and controls the heliosphere, within which all the planets move, and it drives societally important space weather effects in near-Earth space and on the planet’s surface. With the launch in August 2018 of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, a new era has opened in the exploration of the inner solar system. Probe has already travelled to within 35 solar radii of the Sun, nearly twice as close as any previous mission; by the time of this meeting the first perihelion data will have been public for several months so there will be ample opportunity to discuss the exciting first results on topics such as solar wind kinetics, fine scale structure and the links between solar dynamics and solar wind structures. In February 2020, Solar Orbiter will launch: this meeting will also be a good opportunity to discuss Orbiter science goals in light of the early Parker Solar Probe results.
Topics will include:
- Large scale solar wind structure and dynamics
- Kinetics and small scale processes
We welcome contributions regarding: data from Parker Solar Probe; results from other related missions, including Solar Orbiter; and all related simulations and modelling.
More information will be available nearer the meeting date.
