The substorm is a, if not the, fundamental mode in which the magnetosphere releases energy, dumping it into the Earth’s upper atmosphere. As the main (only?) energy dissipation mechanism, the substorm is therefore of fundamental importance when trying to understand global magnetospheric dynamics. Several disputes around the substorm have been settled in the past decades, however many more remain unsolved. Since 1990, experimenters, analysts, and theorists in the field of space plasma physics have gathered biennially in order to discuss major substorm problems. The 14th meeting of the International Conference on Substorms series is organized through the University of Oslo, but to be held in Tromsø. We invite contributions to all scientific topics related to substorms, such as substorm processes in the magnetotail, interactions between the tail and the inner magnetosphere and ionosphere, substorm currents and their dynamics, and the role of substorm in geospace energetics, as well as the role of MHD and kinetic instabilities in substorms. In particular, at ICS-14 we wish to focus the discussion on physics rather than phenomenology and rekindle interest in substorms across the wider space plasma physics community.
