Open to undergraduate and graduate students, early career scientists, and anyone eager to deepen their understanding of Python in the Heliophysics and Space Weather disciplines, this program promises a mix of in-depth tutorials, engaging demos, and hands-on sessions, delivered by some of the field's leading experts. + + +Unlike PyHC's previous schools, this event will be held in the winter rather than the summer. + +Remote options will be available for those unable to make the trip to Tucson, and the presentations will be recorded and streamed to [PyHC's YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@pythoninheliophysicscommun3732). Further, in keeping with PyHC's commitment to knowledge-sharing, **this event is FREE for all attendees**. + +

+### Registration + +Registration for the PyHC 2027 Winter School is not yet open. Registration will be FREE for all attendees, for both in-person and virtual participation. **Registration details and deadlines will be posted here — check back soon.** + +
+### Travel Support + +Travel stipends are available to help selected attendees attend the Winter School in person. + +Travel support applications will be vetted and approved by the Winter School planning committee. Applications will be scored on need (whether the travel grant strongly determines the applicant's ability to attend onsite), career stage (student, post-doctoral, early career, or within 5 years of most recent degree given preference), and equity (ensuring travel funds are disbursed to multiple institutions, rather than focusing on large cadres from the same institution). + +[Apply for the travel stipend here](https://forms.gle/1tQ62tNjAw6JPNzb9). **The application deadline and award amounts will be posted here.** + +
