HELIO 2050

This workshop will focus on discussing a strategic, multi-decadal science framework for solar and space physics to enable community members to incorporate into framing their own white papers to the Decadal Survey process. The community will create a cohesive science strategy that will enable the ability to:

• Identify essential science investigations necessary for major advancements in solar and space physics.
• Use the desired investigations to identify the research and capability development needed to meet the requirements of these missions.
• Recognize research needed in the next decade to prepare for the long-term research goals.
• Recognize work needed to ensure a pipeline from basic research to pre-application research and then into operational needs, including the operations-to-research loop that strengthens forecasting and other predictive capabilities.
