Workshop on the Impacts of Space Weather on Economic Vitality and National Security; College Park, Maryland

空间天气对经济活力和国家安全的影响研讨会该项目将组织为期两天的研讨会，并为其提供旅行支持，以开发社区对空间天气对经济、基础设施和军事影响的综合分析的可操作计划的投入。了解关键社会基础设施对空间天气的脆弱性以及这些基础设施的破坏或中断所产生的级联效应，现在是国家的优先事项。本次研讨会将提供一个场所，讨论如何对构建未来预测（和预警）能力和缓解战略的优化架构所需的脆弱性进行全面评估，以及如何确定和缩小阻碍这一发展的科学知识、建模能力和测量能力方面的差距。讲习班是高度跨学科的，应邀的与会者来自学术界、工业界和政府- -所有这些部门都是制定有效战略的关键部门。将注意讲习班参加者的多样性，尽可能征聘代表性不足的少数民族。计划学生参与建立和运行讲习班，收集内容和编写讲习班后的相关报告，以及传播讲习班。2015年10月22日至23日，地点是马里兰大学帕克分校的塞缪尔·里格斯校友中心。该研讨会是由马里兰大学和约翰霍普金斯大学应用物理实验室共同努力的。指导委员会由来自大学、联邦中心和机构的知识渊博的专家组成。选择研讨会的日期是为了直接跟随华盛顿特区的空间天气企业论坛，不仅为研讨会提供了可供考虑的最新信息，而且还为前来参加论坛的专家提供了丰富的资源，因此临时设在离研讨会地点很近的地方。只有通过邀请才能参与，以保持规模可控，确保所有重要部门都在场，并保持真正的车间环境。讲习班的一项重要成果将是一份关于为减少空间天气脆弱性而确定的优先事项和关键要求的报告，该报告将在讲习班网站和讲习班组织者处广泛散发和提供。此外，该研讨会旨在促进学术界、工业界和政府在空间天气问题上的合作，并促进科学、技术、经济、政策和安全社区之间的积极论坛。

Workshop on the Impacts of Space Weather on Economic Vitality and National SecurityThis project is to organize, and provide travel support for a two-day workshop to develop community input on an actionable plan for the comprehensive analysis of the economic, infrastructural, and military impacts of space weather. Understanding the vulnerability of critical societal infrastructures to space weather and the cascading effects, which are produced by damage or disruption of these infrastructures, is now a national priority. This workshop will provide a venue for discussing how to develop comprehensive assessments of vulnerabilities necessary for constructing an optimized architecture for future forecast (and warning) capabilities, and mitigation strategies, as well as how to identify and close the gaps in our scientific knowledge, modeling capability, and measurement ability that hinder this development. The workshop is highly interdisciplinary with the invited participants drawn from academia, industry and government - all the sectors critical to the development of an effective strategy. Attention will be given to diversity in the workshop participants by recruiting underrepresented minorities where possible. Student participation is planned in setting up and running the workshop, the collection of content and the construction of the associated report following the workshop, as well as its dissemination. The venue is the Samuel Riggs Alumni Center at the University of Maryland College Park during October 22-23, 2015.The workshop is a joint effort by the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. The steering committee is comprised of knowledgeable experts from universities, federal centers, and agencies. The dates for the workshop were selected so that it directly follows the Space Weather Enterprise Forum in Washington, DC providing not only the latest information for consideration in the workshop but a rich source of experts who are traveling to attend the forum and thus are temporarily located in close proximity to the workshop venue. Participation is by invitation only to keep the size manageable, ensure that all important sectors are present, and maintain a true workshop environment. An important outcome of the workshop will be a report on the priorities and critical requirements identified for reducing vulnerability to space weather, which will be widely disseminated and available on the workshop website as well as from the organizers of the workshop. In addition, the workshop is intended to foster collaboration across academia, industry and government on space weather issues, and promote an active forum among science, technology, economic, policy and security communities.
