Space-Weather Awareness Dialogue

Extreme space-weather events such as geomagnetic storms are natural phenomena caused by solar activity that can have a serious impact on modern technological infrastructures such as electrical power grids, telecommunication, global satellite navigation (GNSS) and banking. In view of the upcoming solar maximum expected in 2013 the “Space-Weather Awareness Dialogue” aims at raising awareness of the potential impact of space weather on critical infrastructures in view of the growing risk of technological catastrophic events.
