1. Space Weather Workshop: Looking towards a European Space Weather
Programme 17-19 December 2001, ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands.
*****************************************************************
From: Alexi Glover
** Deadline for abstract submission 19th October 2001**
The term "Space Weather" refers to conditions on the Sun and in the
solar wind,
magnetosphere, ionosphere and thermosphere that affect the performance
and the
reliability of technological systems on Earth and in space. In addition,
these conditions
may affect human life or health. In the light of ESA studies currently
being conducted
by Alcatel Space and Rutherford Appleton Laboratories, this workshop
aims to provide
a forum in which both recent scientific and technical advances relating
to Space Weather
can be presented and discussed. In addition, the workshop will focus
on the implementation
of a European Space Weather programme. Future ESA Space Weather activities
and
possibilities for international collaboration will also feature prominently
in the discussion.
A European Space Weather programme would provide the capacity to supply
European
based Space Weather services to a wide variety of users including:
Spacecraft industry;
Users and providers of positioning systems;
Scientific community.
Airline companies;
Oil and mineral industries;
Electric power industry;
Insurers;
Telecommunications companies;
Educational sector (establishment school,
media, etc.)
Security Forces
Contributions from users in all of the above areas are welcomed in oral
or poster format.
The results of this workshop will represent a very important element
in deciding on the
way forward for any European Space Weather Programme.

of the forthcoming General Assembly.
First, there are several sessions in Commission G & H of direct
interest for solar-terrestrial
physics. Please go to: http://www.URSI-GA2002.nl/

Second, and most important, a number of the Assembly sessions have Space
Weather
content. To learn more about these sessions, please go to:
