Discussions will emphasize scientifi c and technological opportunities within the frameworks of the Galileo Sol ar Space Telescope (GSST) and the China–Brazil Earth Resources Satellite -5 (CBERS-5) missions\, fostering collaborative efforts across Brazilian a nd international scientific communities.\nWhile the primary emphasis is on heliophysics and space weather\, contributions addressing applications of Machine Learning in Astrophysics and Earth Sciences are also strongly enc ouraged. Particular attention will be given to enabling technologies that underpin next-generation observational capabilities\, including advanced i nstrumentation\, high-performance computing\, data assimilation frameworks \, photonics and optical systems\, remote sensing platforms\, and autonomo us space-based systems. Contributions involving large-scale data analysis\ , modeling\, predictive methodologies\, and sensor development are especia lly welcome.\nThe event is organized by the National Institute for Space R esearch (INPE)\, the University of Vale do Paraíba (UNIVAP)\, and Mackenz ie Presbyterian University\, with the support of the Brazilian Society of Space Geophysics and Aeronomy (SBGEA).\nThe organization of this symposium builds directly on discussions held during the 11th Annual BRICS Astronom y Working Group (BAWG) Workshop*\, where ongoing and planned solar and spa ce-weather observation missions were examined\, including the Galileo Sola r Space Telescope (GSST\, Brazil)\, Aditya-L1 (India)\, the Chinese Solar Polar Orbit Observatory (China)\, and CBERS-5 (China/Brazil). These discus sions underscored the importance of coordinated international efforts and advanced data-driven approaches for the next generation of heliophysics an d space-weather research. \n*The 11th Annual BRICS Astronomy Working Grou p (BAWG) Workshop was financed\, in part\, by the São Paulo Research Foun dation (FAPESP)\, Brasil. Process Number #2025/17984-0.\nTopics to be Cove red\n\n\nComputer Vision and Machine Learning applications in heliophysics \n\n\nSolar magnetism and magnetic-field inference\n\n\nSolar activity: fl ares\, CMEs\, and energetic particles\n\n\nSolar wind dynamics and heliosp heric structures\n\n\nSpace weather monitoring and forecast\n\n\nPhysics-I nformed Neural Networks\n\n\nResearch-to-Operations processes augmented by AI and CV\n\n\n \nFormat and Participation\nThe symposium will feature i nvited talks\, contributed oral presentations\, and discussion sessions.
