1. Advanced Study Institute on Space Weather (ESA support)
*********************************************************
From E.
Daly
E-mail: edaly@estec.esa.nl
The European Space Agency (ESA) is willing to sponsor
partially the attendance of up to three young engineers or
scientists from ESA member states to attend the Advanced
Study Institute in June (see
http://sat2.space.noa.gr/~daglis/asi2000.html).
The partial
support will take the form of a contribution to the travel and
subsistence up to a ceiling of 1000 Euros. Applicants should
send a brief letter of request and CV to Dr. Eamonn Daly
(edaly@estec.esa.nl), ESA/ESTEC by 31 January.

2. Space Weather Week (Meeting Scheduled for May 1-5, 2000)
*********************************************************
From: Barbara Poppe
E-mail: poppe@sec.noaa.gov
Space Environment Center will host the second annual Space
Weather Week during the week of May 1, 2000 in Boulder,
Colorado. Space Weather Week will include the Research-to-
Operations Workshop (co- organized by Air Force Research
Laboratory and NSF Division of Atmospheric Science), the
SEC Users Conference (co-sponsored by Aerospace Corp.,
SUNBURST, and the U.S. Coast Guard). The meeting will
provide an opportunity for modelers to describe tools that will
soon be available for space weather services, and will provide
an opportunity for the space weather operations centers and
users of space weather services to describe their current
capabilities and their priorities for improving services. By
combining the Users Conference, the Research-to-Operations
Workshop, and the Vendors Meeting, these overlapping
communities will be able to assess the needs for enhanced
operational services and to assess the capabilities and
limitations of our scientific and operational tools. Further
details regarding the meeting agenda and travel details will be
announced in the near future.
