Recognizing the need to raise awareness of the risk of severe space weather impacts on critical infrastructures, the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), in collaboration with the Directorate-General Enterprise and Industry, organized the Space Weather Awareness Dialogue, a high-level event held in Brussels, Belgium, on 25–26 October 2011. The dialogue sought to highlight the potential effects of extreme space weather on technological infrastructures both in space and on the ground; to identify related scientific, operational, and policy challenges for disaster prevention, preparedness, and response; and to recommend actions that will reduce the vulnerability of critical infrastructures. The event brought together about 70 representatives from European industry, government agencies, European Union (EU) institutions, and the space weather community. Officials from NASA and NOAA actively supported the event. The dialogue consisted of five panel sessions and a concluding session, with more than 30 panelists contributing during the 2-day program.
