Agenda of the YSSG workshop

MADRID (SPAIN), 17-19 FEBRUARY 2025

 

 

Below is the finalized programme of the workshop. 

Presentation sessions will cover four topics: interior, surface, exosphere and magnetosphere.

Each session will begin with a tutorial talk given by the members of the SOC to introduce the topic from a scientific, instrumental and operational perspective.

The abstract booklet is available here.
