Objectives
- Initiation of CMEs and their take-off dynamics ("acceleration stage")
- Heliospheric dynamics of ICMEs and evolution of their structure
- Relationship between empirical, analytical, and numerical propagation models and comparison with observations; forecasting aspects
- CME/ICME-associated phenomena (flares, shocks, etc.)
