Workshop on Data Science and Software in Heliophysics.
The goal of the co-located International Heliophysics Data Environment Alliance (IHDEA) is to provide the international Heliophysics community the opportunity to collaborate on improving or creating common standards and services to increase the interoperability of our resources and accelerate next-generation science.

The Data, Analysis, and Software in Heliophysics (DASH) and International Heliophysics Data Environment Alliance (IHDEA) joint workshop took place October 19–24, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas. This exciting week brought together scientists, developers, and data specialists from around the world to share tools, standards, and ideas advancing Heliophysics research and software development.
Hosted at the Holiday Inn San Antonio–Riverwalk, the meeting featured invited and contributed talks, lightning sessions, and a vibrant poster showcase. Discussions spanned topics such as machine learning, interoperable data systems, cloud computing, and the growing role of Research Software Engineers in the Heliophysics community.
Thank you to everyone who participated in person and virtually — your energy, insight, and collaboration made DASH/IHDEA 2025 a success!
Remember the Alamo!
DASH + IHDEA 2026 will take place in Dublin, Ireland, continuing our mission to connect and empower the international Heliophysics software community.
