+
+The Python in Heliophysics Community (PyHC) is excited to announce its 2027 Winter School, set to take place **Tuesday, January 5th to Friday, January 8th, 2027** at the [University of Arizona](https://www.arizona.edu/) in sunny Tucson, Arizona, USA.
+
+This Winter School builds on the success of PyHC's [2022]({{ site.baseurl }}/summer-school) and [2024]({{ site.baseurl }}/summer-school-24) Summer Schools, offering another deep dive into the rich ecosystem of Heliophysics Python packages. 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.
+
+<!-- TODO: Optional — decide whether to explain the January timing publicly. Delete or reword the sentence below as desired. -->
+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**.

+
+### Dates
+5 January 2027 – 8 January 2027
+
+<br>
+### Registration
+<!-- TODO: Add the registration form link and deadline once they exist. -->
+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.**
+
+<br>
+### Travel Support
+<!-- TODO: Add the application deadline, award amounts, and any eligibility restrictions (e.g. the NSF US-citizen/LPR rule that applied in 2024) once confirmed. -->
+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.**
+
+<br>
+### Poster Abstract Submissions
+<!-- TODO: Add the poster abstract Google form link and deadline once they exist. -->
+If you are attending the PyHC 2027 Winter School on site in Tucson, AZ and are interested in presenting on your work within Heliophysics/Space Physics and Python, the Winter School poster session is your best bet! Bonus points if you can show work you've done that leverages the PyHC ecosystem.
+
+**A poster abstract submission form and deadline will be posted here.**
+
+<br>
+#### Hotel
+<!-- TODO: Add the negotiated room block rate (and parking cost, if any) once confirmed. -->
