Program
The Workshop will take place during the week of March 18-21, 2014, at the facilities of the National Institute of Space Research (INPE), Sao Jose dos Campos, SP, Brazil. The program consists of lectures ministered by the invited speakers. During the coffee breaks and, especially, at the end of the afternoon Sessions of Tuesday (March 18), there will be a display of POSTERS, some about Magnetic Reconnection, but mostly about other topics in space plasmas in which some local scientists and students are working and would like to receive comments from the visiting scientists of the Workshop.
