Second Announcement
This workshop marks the 10th anniversary of the International Heliophysical Year, which led to the genesis of the International Space Weather Initiative. It is organized jointly by the Office for Outer Space Affairs, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Boston College to highlight the achievements made over the past ten years and to show-case the worldwide development of science, capacity building, and outreach.
Sunday, 23 April 2017
The UN Workshops on ISWI have been aimed at providing a global forum for space weather experts from developed and developing countries, including representatives of the major instrument operators and data providers. In particular the Workshop will focus on recent advances made in scientific research by utilizing ISWI instrument data in conjunction with space mission data in adding significant new knowledge on space weather phenomena near Earth and interplanetary space.
The workshop will begin with a high level international forum on the economic and societal effects of extreme space weather. This forum will include keynote speakers from major international organizations followed by a panel session to discuss issues and policies for acknowledging space weather as a global challenge.
The workshop is also held in preparation for UNISPACE+50 in 2018, the 50th anniversary of the first UN Conference on the Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNISPACE), held in Vienna in 1968. The three components of the Workshop will also help develop a coherent international policy towards an appropriate response to space weather.

The workshop will be comprised of three components. It is anticipated that the three components will help develop a coherent international policy towards an appropriate response to space weather.
Part 1: A high level international forum on the economic and societal effects of extreme space weather. This forum will include keynote speakers from major international organizations followed by a panel session to discuss issues and polices for acknowledging space weather as a global challenge.
Part 2: International Space Weather Initiative Sessions – 10 years after IHY - focusing on, but not limited to:
|
|
Part 3: A flagship event for UNISPACE+50 focusing on international framework for space weather services. Please see the UNOOSA website for more information on UNISPACE+50.
Workshop participants may have an opportunity to give a presentation on the topics relevant to the workshop. If you wish to make a presentation, please upload your abstract with a maximum of 600 words. You can send an abstract along with Applications form.
