Proba 3 Science Working Team Meeting

The Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy had the honour of hosting two important scientific events between 24 and 28 November 2025, bringing together experts from the space missions sector: The 12th Proba-3 Science Working Team Meeting and The First ASPIICS Data Workshop. Throughout the 12th Proba-3 Science Working Team Meeting, the scientists engaged in comprehensive discussions regarding the current status of the Proba-3 mission and collaboratively defined scientific use cases to be applied for ongoing or future observation campaigns. One of the central points of this meeting was the mission’s successful entry into its full operational phase. The high-quality observations captured by the ASPIICS instrument are now calibrated and publicly available, marking a major milestone for the scientific community and significantly increasing opportunities for solar corona research. The First ASPIICS Data Workshop served as a key assembly, gathering not only the Proba-3 scientists, but also a group of external researchers. The primary goal of this focused event was to promote and facilitate the utilization of ASPIICS data among the wider scientific community. The workshop successfully encouraged the application of these unique datasets toward obtaining new insights into the dynamics and physics of the lower solar corona.
