Surya Science:
A hands-on workshop

Overview

Welcome to the Surya Workshop series! Registration is open for the 2nd Surya workshop taking place in 14-18 of September, 2026. Please fill this registration form if you are interested in attending.

Surya is a foundation model specifically developed by NASA and IBM for heliophysics, trained on 9 years of high-resolution observations from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The release of this domain-specific foundation model marks a pivotal moment in how we study the Sun, rapidly accelerating what is possible. The Surya workshops explore how Surya can be adapted to support a range of downstream scientific tasks, with a hands-on focus building on the ideas, opportunities, and research directions this capability enables in actual workflows.

A very important part of the Surya workshop is the hands-on component, where we meet with participants to design solutions that address their science and provide the templates and structure to implement them.

The recordings and lessons from the 1st Surya workshop are available to anyone in the form of recorded videos of its lectures, as well as a manual on how to implement a Surya fine-tuning application.
