Ninth European Space Weather Week – 2nd Announcement and call for splinter meeting proposals

The next European Space Weather Week will take place at the Belgian Royal Academy of Sciences in Brussels, Belgium, from 5-9th November 2012.

Conference Website: http://stce.be/esww9/

This meeting is being jointly organised by the Belgian Solar-Terrestrial Center of Excellence (STCE), ESA, the Space Weather Working Team and the COST ES0803 communities. The local organisation is done by the STCE. This event will build on the advances made during previous European Space Weather Weeks and preceding ESA Space Weather Applications Workshops.

Organisation:

ESWW9 will centre on the following open sessions:

Session 1: European Space Weather Landscape: Current Perspectives and Requirements for the Future
Session 2: Innovations and Key Challenges in Space Weather Science
Session 3a: Solar Variability Effects on Climate
Session 3b: Coupled Space Weather Modelling
Session 4a: Spacecraft Operations and Space Weather
Session 4b: Space Weather in the Solar System
Session 5: COST ES0803 Final Results

Sessions denoted a/b will run in parallel. Each session will be divided into an oral and poster session. Posters will be on show all week and the poster sessions will be spread throughout this time. The oral presentations will cover a range of scientific and application-related themes and will consist of both invited and contributed papers. Service user contributions are welcome and encouraged.

Splinter & Business meetings:

A key part of the European Space Weather Weeks is the splinter and business meetings. These meetings provide the opportunity for interested participants to meet in smaller groups and address key issues in a style that complements the open format of the main sessions. These meetings take the form of working meetings with reports produced and actions taken by the participants. Time during the ESWW9 schedule will be set aside for all convenors to report the main conclusions of these meetings to the full workshop.

Several rooms will be available for splinter and business meetings during the week, starting from Monday morning. If you would like to propose a meeting to be included in the agenda please send the title of the meeting, a short description and anticipated number of participants to Anna Belehaki (belehaki at space.noa.gr) as soon as possible.

Deadline for submission of splinter/business meeting proposals: 30th March

Special Events:

5th November: The ESWW keynote lecture will take place prior to the welcome reception and will again address a topical subject given by a renowned expert in the field.
6th November: A scientific debate will take place following the day’s normal sessions.
This year’s event will again include a space weather fair, where users and service providers will have the opportunity to interact in an informal working environment.
