[Background] CHAIN-project (Continuous H Alpha Imaging Network), that is led by Kyoto University under CAWSES-II and ISWI, has successfully moved the FMT (Flare Monitoring Telescope) to Ica University of Peru from Hida Observatory of Japan in the last March. The FMT started to observe the Sun in the last year in H alpha (center plus blue and red wing (+-0.8A)) to detect flares, associated filament eruption and Moreton waves (shock waves emitted from flares) which can be basis of space weather prediction. On the other hand, National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) has also supported development of the Coelostat spectroscope for solar observations at UNICA. In the last November, we had the FMT data analysis workshop at Ica University of Peru to educate young students and researchers how to analyze solar data taken with FMT and how to use spectroscope for solar observations. The workshop was partly supported by CAWSES-II, and was very successful. (Please look at the web site: http://esi.igp.gob.pe/FMTworkshop/ ) This summer school/workshop in Japan is a continuation of the previous FMT workshop held in Ica University of Peru in the last November. The purpose of the summer school/workshop is to teach how to analyze the solar data more deeply and to teach how to write scientific paper using solar data. [Objective] - Report of progress of data-analysis during this one year - Lectures of solar physics and solar active phenomena in more detail. - Introduction of recent studies by using the data obtained with CHAIN-network, by Japanese researchers - How to analyze solar observational data taken with FMT and space mission such as Hinode - How to write scientific paper on solar physics research - Basics of solar observations on ground [SOC] Chair: Kazunari Shibata (Kwasan and Hida Obs.) - Kiyoshi Ichimoto (Kwasan and Hida Obs.) - Reizaburo Kitai (Kwasan and Hida Obs.) - Takashi Sakurai (NAOJ) - Yoichiro Hanaoka (NAOJ) - Yoshinori Suematsu (NAOJ) - Mutsumi Ishitsuka (IGP) - Jose K.
