Preceded by an Introduction to Space Weather School on Sunday, January 24, 2016 at the same location

Understanding and being able to forecast space weather is an increasingly important aspect of our modern technology-reliant society. This workshop will treat all aspects of space weather, ranging from the solar origin of transient events to their propagation through the heliosphere and effects on Earth and planetary bodies, from particle energization to forecasting particle environment and its effects on technological and biological systems, as well as solar-cycle effects and coupling of space weather to atmospheric response. Metrics to assess predictions will also be discussed.

The workshop is structured along the lines of the COSPAR space weather pathways and will include invited and contributed talks, posters, as well as panel discussions and tutorials. The “Introduction to Space Weather: Concepts and Tools” School will be held the full day on Sunday on 24 January 2016 and will be followed by
interactive programs and demo sessions throughout the week of the workshop. Both will take place at the Resort Rio, Goa, India (www.resortrio.com/).
