November 27-28, 2025, Bern, Organized by University of Bern, Workshop website
The SCOSTEP workshop aims at bringing together scientists with an interest in solar-terrestrial physics, covering the topics of fundamental solar physics, solar variability, Sun-Earth relations, and future missions and observations. It encourages a lively exchange between participants to identify synergies, foster collaborations, and strengthen the Swiss solar-terrestrial community.
Samuel Corecco, Master in Artificial Intelligence graduate from the USI Faculty of Informatics, is the winner of the 2025 Fritz Kutter Prize (ETHZ). Corecco’s thesis “Using Artificial Intelligence for retrieving physical parameters of solar plasma from spectropolarimetric lines” was carried out at IRSOL under the supervision of Prof. Svetlana Berdyugina. The award was presented by the Fritz Kutter Fund in a ceremony held on 24 November 2025. A new sequential process based on AI developed in the thesis revolutionises the way we process solar data and offers a perfect blend of speed, accuracy and physical information.
