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讲习班该项目旨在组织一个为期两天的讲习班，并为讲习班提供旅行支持，以便为综合分析空间天气的经济、基础设施和军事影响的可行计划提供社区意见。了解关键的社会基础设施对空间天气的脆弱性以及这些基础设施的损坏或中断所产生的连锁影响，现在是国家的优先事项。这次研讨会将提供一个讨论场所，讨论如何对漏洞进行全面评估，以便为未来的预测(和预警)能力和缓解战略构建优化的架构，以及如何识别和弥合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。研讨会是高度跨学科的，受邀与会者来自学术界、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。将注意讲习班参与者的多样性，尽可能招募代表人数偏低的少数群体。计划让学生参与建立和运行讲习班、收集内容、在讲习班之后编写相关报告以及分发报告。研讨会于2015年10月22日至23日在马里兰大学学院公园的塞缪尔·里格斯校友中心举行。该研讨会由马里兰大学和约翰·霍普金斯大学应用物理实验室联合举办。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。选择讲习班的日期是为了紧跟在哥伦比亚特区华盛顿举行的空间气象企业论坛之后，不仅提供了供讲习班审议的最新信息，而且还提供了前往参加论坛的丰富专家来源，因此暂时设在讲习班会场附近。只有通过邀请才能参加，以保持规模可控，确保所有重要部门都出席，并保持真正的车间环境。讲习班的一项重要成果将是编写一份关于为减少易受空间天气影响而确定的优先事项和关键要求的报告，这份报告将在讲习班网站以及讲习班组织者处广泛散发和提供。此外，讲习班旨在促进学术界、工业界和政府之间在空间气象问题上的合作，并促进科学、技术、经济、政策和安全界之间的一个积极论坛。

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.
