This is a brief notice to announce that we will be holding the fourth Beijing Earth and Planetary Interiors Symposium (BEPIS) in 2016.

The meeting will be held, as before, at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, China. It will run from May 27 (Friday) to May 30 (Monday), with May 27 acting as the registration day.

BEPIS is a wide ranging meeting, which brings together observations and theoretical advances in paleo-, bio-, geo-, and rock magnetism, geodynamo theories and models, as well as planetary and solar system magnetism. The primary aim of the meeting is to bring scientists in different disciplines (experimental, observational, theoretical and numerical) together to further our understanding of the origin, structure and variations of Earth’s and planetary magnetic fields.

We are looking forward to inviting friends old and new to participate in the Beijing Symposium, and we will announce further details on the meeting website: http://bepis2016.csp.escience.cn
