The session ASTROPHYSICS, GEOPHYSICS AND PLASMA PHYSICS at the 2007 meeting of the Belgian Physical Society at the University of Antwerp on May 30 was partly devoted to Belgian contributions to the International Heliospheric Year.

Below you can find the list of IHY-related presentations. Please follow the links to access PDF versions of the presentations.

To support the Belgian activities in the frame of the International Heliospheric Year, Koen Stegen en Jan Wera of the Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy have set up this website. Thanks!

The goal of this website is mainly to announce the Belgian activities, and to inform the public of the ongoing research in Belgium in the field of the heliospheric sciences.
