Third XFLARE general assembly 28-29 Aug August 29th
The [Extreme Plasma Flares](https://kaw.wallenberg.org/en/research/data-space-probes-aiding-our-understanding-plasma-flares) project participants gathered at KTH to discuss electron acceleration due to magnetic reconnection in the Earth's magnetosphere. Tünde gave an overview of Chalmers activities in the area, Konrad presented "Beam and flattop distributions in collisionless reconnection", Istvan presented "Collisionless fluid modeling of instabilities and strategies to improve closures" and Ida talked about "Following up on the magnetosheath whistler waves".
