This session focuses on identifying the next steps for coordinated long-term European space weather activity. Talks will cover measurement infrastructures, major agency activities, I*Y activities, followed by a round table discussion on the current progress and future questions. Join us to explore the need for coordination, required measurements, knowledge transfer, and funding to move from research to operations.

Agencies Activities, I*Y and ProgrammaticsIntroduction Mike Hapgood, RAL + SWWT Chair (M.Hapgood@rl.ac.uk)
Session aim • “… geared towards identifying the next steps towards a coordinated long-term European Space Weather activity” • Series of talks on • Measurement infrastructures • Major agency activities (SEC & ESA) • I*Y activities • Followed by Round Table discussion
WHERE ARE WE? • Much progress thanks to ESA (& EU) • Extensive set of studies • Requirements, programmatic issues, cost benefit • Pilot Project • Demonstrates European capability & interest • Human networks • Workshops, SWWT • COST projects • Other • DIAS
SOME QUESTIONS FOR FUTURE? • What European coordination is needed? • SpW applications are series of niches • Distinct features and benefits • No user demand for coordination • We must show how coordination benefits space weather science & applications • What measurements are needed? • Raise awareness of measurements as European asset, build up measurement programmes • Link measurements and services!
MORE QUESTIONS FOR FUTURE? • How will research lead to new/better services? • Raise awareness of knowledge transfer • Models are key issue for transfer • Do we need a roadmap exercise?
FUNDING • How to move from research to operations? • Raise user awareness • Especially in operational areas of government and industry
