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

空间气象对经济活力和国家安全影响讲习班该项目将组织为期两天的讲习班并提供差旅费支持，以制定社区对空间气象对经济、基础设施和军事影响的综合分析可行计划的投入。 了解关键社会基础设施对空间气象的脆弱性以及这些基础设施的损坏或中断所产生的级联效应，现在是国家的一个优先事项。 本次研讨会将提供一个场所，讨论如何开发必要的脆弱性的全面评估，以构建未来预测（和预警）能力和缓解战略的优化架构，以及如何识别和缩小我们的科学知识，建模能力和测量能力，阻碍这一发展的差距。研讨会具有高度的跨学科性，受邀与会者来自学术界、工业界和政府-所有这些部门对制定有效战略都至关重要。 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群体。 学生参与计划建立和运行的讲习班，内容的收集和相关报告的建设讲习班后，以及它的传播。地点是塞缪尔·里格斯校友中心在马里兰州学院公园的大学在2015年10月22日至23日。研讨会是由马里兰州和约翰霍普金斯大学应用物理实验室的大学共同努力。 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。讲习班日期的选择是为了使其紧接着在华盛顿举行的空间气象企业论坛，不仅提供最新信息供讲习班审议，而且还提供大量专家，这些专家是专程前来参加论坛的，因此临时安排在讲习班地点附近。 仅限受邀参加，以保持规模可控，确保所有重要部门都在场，并保持真正的研讨会环境。讲习班的一项重要成果将是编写一份关于为减少空间气象脆弱性而确定的优先事项和关键要求的报告，该报告将广泛传播，并可在讲习班网站上查阅，也可从讲习班组织者处获得。 此外，讲习班还旨在促进学术界、工业界和政府在空间气象问题上的协作，并促进科学、技术、经济、政策和安全界之间的积极论坛。

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.
