4th International Conference on Space Weather and Satellite Application2026 (ICESSAT2026)
5 - 7 October 2026
Kunming Longway Muslim Friendly Hotel, Kunming, Yunnan, China
Theme: "Space Weather and Satellite Applications"
Background
The 4th International Conference on Space Weather and Satellite Applications (ICeSSAT2026), to be held in Kunming, Yunnan, China from 5 to 7 October 2026, marks the fourth edition of the conference following the successful organization of its third edition in 2024. The conference is proposed as a high-impact international institutional activity, aligned with UniSZA’s strategic efforts to strengthen global collaboration through the East Coast Environmental Research Institute (ESERI). This initiative is supported by strategic partnerships established through Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) between UniSZA, the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC), Yunnan Observatories (YNAO), and MyFundAction, and is further reinforced by official invitations from both MyFundAction and YNAO.
ICeSSAT2026 will continue under the same conference theme and will be jointly organized with several local and international universities, as well as government agencies. Participating institutions are expected to include Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), i-SPES Japan, the Malaysian Space Agency (MySA), Universitas Padjadjaran (UNPAD), and Kyushu University, among others.
The conference is expected to generate a substantial number of high-quality scholarly publications for dissemination through reputable conference proceedings and academic journals. These publications will contribute significantly to enhancing the research competencies, academic excellence, and publication performance of ESERI research fellows, postgraduate students, and research officers, while also strengthening international research networking and collaboration in the fields of space weather, satellite applications, and related disciplines.
