Rationale:

Since the discovery of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave processes in the corona of the Sun at the beginning of the era of spatially and temporally resolving multi-band telescopes, coronal seismology has become widely accepted as a highly powerful technique for probing the physical conditions in the Sun’s corona (see e.g a global road map for 2015-2025 commissioned by COSPAR and ILWS, and the most recent comprehensive review of MHD waves in the corona). This international 4-day online conference is intended to mark the 20-year milestone since the publication of the pioneering paper on the application of coronal seismology for probing the coronal magnetic field. The conference is also held in honour of Prof Nakariakov's 55^th birthday, with particular emphasis on the various aspects of coronal seismology that he made a special contribution to. Standing at the origin of this research field, Prof Nakariakov has established strong scientific links and collaborations in the UK and worldwide, and trained a new generation of young and actively working solar physicists, thus seeding a solid ground for the further development of coronal seismology with MHD waves in particular and highly influencing solar physics in general. The conference will include invited talks of 25 min given by the UK and international researchers who used to be either PhD students or postdocs of Prof Nakariakov at some stage of their academic career, and also by his close collaborators and those with close scientific connections to Prof. Nakariakov. The conference also warmly welcomes 20-min contributed talks from researchers working either directly on coronal seismology or in closely related areas. We shall also consider arranging online poster sessions and a few minutes oral poster presentations, depending on the number of registered participants.
