PROM is the acronym for Prominence Research Observations and Models. The Workshops were initiated among a group of remote collaborators working on research grants funded by and related to successful proposals submitted through Helio Research. Therefore, the purpose of the Workshops has been a forum for discussions among the collaborators on their research on prominences (filaments) and filament channels and other aspects of the prominence (filament) environment. Especially important has been the interaction between observers and modelers. The Workshops have always been locally open and announced to others in solar physics engaged in similar research in the locality where the Workshop is held. Research presentations are informally shared in depth with time for discussion of details and work in progress. Hence there is also no attempt to cover the entire subject of prominences and filament research at the sacrifice of these in-depth discussions. Our goal is to maximize research discussion time and to minimize organizational effort. Broader, more comprehensive forums for research presentations are already available through meetings of our professional societies.
Volunteer hosts for future local Workshops are welcome.
