IMAP welcomes the broader community into the IMAP mission through participation in Science Team Meetings. IMAP Science Team Meetings are held jointly with Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) science team meetings and are open to the entire Heliophysics community.
 
The fundamental science questions of IBEX address the properties of the local interstellar medium, global heliospheric boundaries, and interstellar interactions. IMAP takes the next major leap in understanding our global heliosphere, heliospheric interactions and boundaries, local interstellar properties and composition, and the acceleration of suprathermal and energetic particle.
 
The first joint IMAP/IBEX Science Working team meeting was held on August 28-29, 2018 at Princeton University.
