This meeting aims to strengthen and sustain the European Heliophysics Community (EHC) by bringing together researchers, mission teams, and early-career scientists to discuss major community topics, future projects, shared challenges, and opportunities for interdisciplinary and cross-cutting science.

We have now significantly expanded the information available on the meeting webpage (https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/esa-heliophysics/heliophysics-in-europe-2026), including details on talks and poster sessions. The meeting will strongly focus on topical panels and open discussion sessions designed to encourage broad community engagement and interaction.

We warmly encourage the entire community to get involved, contribute, and register. We look forward to seeing you at ESA ESTEC in September 2026!
