Recent & Upcoming events
IES 2023:
The latest Ionospheric Effects Symposium was held May 9-11, 2023 in Alexandria, Virginia. These symposia focus on the transition from Research to Operations: Bridging the gap between applications and investigations involving ionospheric and space weather disciplines. More informationis available on the conference website.
2023 ICTP-SCOSTEP-ISWI School and Workshop on the Predictability of the Solar-Terrestrial Coupling - PRESTO
The ICTP-SCOSTEP-ISWI School and Workshop on the Predictability of the Solar-Terrestrial Coupling - PRESTO took place 29 May - 2 June 2023 at ICTP in Trieste, Italy. The workshop followed a one-day school which will provide students and early-career scientists with an introductory review on the topics that will be discussed during the PRESTO workshop. The space science schools are a capacity building activity of the International Space Weather Initiative (ISWI) and SCOSTEP.
