Cosmic Ray Transport Workshop, to be held May 18–19, 2026, at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio (USA)

The workshop, "Cosmic-Ray Transport Across Scales: From In Situ Heliospheric Measurements to Galactic Systems," is hosted by the Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP).

This workshop will bring together researchers studying cosmic-ray transport across a wide range of scales—from the heliosphere and interstellar medium to galaxies and galaxy clusters—with the goal of developing a common framework for cosmic-ray physics. The program will combine invited talks with topic-focused discussion sessions to encourage active exchange.

Registration is free of charge, but advance registration is required. Deadline is March 29, 2026.
