The 2019 Workshop for the International Space Weather Initiative (ISWI) took place in Trieste, Italy this week. Co-sponsored by BC's ISR, ISWI promotes international cooperation in space weather studies and encourages partnerships between emerging and established programs. ISR members Keith Groves, Patricia Doherty, and David Webb gave several presentations on their results. P. Doherty also chaired the session on National Space Weather Programs and was a member of the Organizing Committee. Here, they are seated with Nat Gopalswamy from NASA Goddard (2nd from the right), who is the Executive Director of ISWI and President of SCOSTEP.

Boston College hosted the 2017 ISWI Workshop at Corcoran Commons, which had over 150 participants from over 50 countries.
