Meeting Schedule
This is a working meeting, not a conference. There are no formal talks. The goal is to leave Bern with a shared event catalogue, defined science projects with named leads, and initial results. Discussions are moderated and focused; hands-on sessions are for analysis, coding, and writing. Come prepared to work on data (and to have fun!)
Schedule
The schedule below is a guide rather than a strict timetable, it’s designed to keep some loose structure to the week while leaving plenty of room for discussion, spontaneous ideas, and collaborative work. Discussion topics will be shaped and refined as we go.

Pre-meeting preparation
Please come prepared with the following:
- One slide, 2-3 figures max, your science interest and the question(s) you want to answer with this dataset.
- Bring working code or notebooks relevant to your expertise, ribbon detection, light curve extraction, STIX analysis, co-alignment routines, or anything else you think the group could use.
