Sessions

Flavours of sessions

We have 3 flavours of sessions:

• Plenary sessions, 2 in total, one oriented towards Users and one towards Operations/Services;
• Parallel Science and Research sessions;
• Parallel Open sessions;

Plenary sessions: Users and Operations/Services

We foresee a User oriented session on Tuesday and a session on Operations and Services on Thursday.
The oral part of both plenary sessions takes 3 hours. The number of orals is defined to be between 8 and 10. Orals should be open and broad. The number of posters is unlimited.

The User-oriented session shall be broad across all domains impacted by space weather (e.g. power grids, satellites, aviation). The session covers reports of end-user impacts of space weather, presentations of user experience in using specific space weather products and services in their production and mitigation chain, and user requirements for new or improved space weather services.

The Operations and Services session shall also be broad-ranging, covering new developments in space weather operations or services, best practice in transitioning research to operations and verification activities.

Parallel Science and Research sessions

We foresee parallel Science and Research Sessions: maximal 3 on Monday and maximal 3 on Wednesday.
The oral part of the Science and Research sessions takes 3 hours. The number of orals is defined to be between 8 and 10. Orals should be open and broad. The number of posters is unlimited.

The topics of the Science and Research sessions are:
