Announcement  |
The development of coordinated space weather applications requires the establishment of new kinds of partnerships in R&D between scientists, developers, service providers, service users and funding agencies in order to coordinate activities that traditionally fall within separate domains.
To this end ESA has recently embarked upon a 2 year pilot project of space weather service development. The objective of the Pilot Project for Space Weather Applications is to develop and extend the space weather service user community through development of targeted services, provided by a network of service providers supported by a common infrastructure and using data from existing sources. Through this service and community development a clear long term view of the potential for space weather applications shall be established together with clear understanding of the associated economic and social benefits and the long term relevance of these space weather services.
This workshop will bring together all participants from a wide variety of domains, participating in the SWENET service development network. It will also focus on the relationship with space weather science initiatives.
The workshop is timed to coincide with completion of the user requirements phase of the individual service development activities and, as such, it is anticipated that this will form a major topic of discussion.
Although those activities that are already members of the SWENET network are expected to present their activities, participation is not restricted to these groups and presentations of other new and novel space weather services are welcome.
Discussion will also take place of the support requirements for each service development activity and the ways in which the SWENET network will function over the next year in order to best support the development of these services. |
