Welcome to the
20-24 November 2023, Toulouse, France
Bringing Space Weather, Space Climate, And Engineering Together
Call for Plenary and Parallel Sessions opens 31st of January 2023 and closes on 13th of April.
The ESWW is the main annual event in the European Space Weather and Space Climate calendar. It is an international meeting organised annually within the European Region in collaboration with prominent members of the European space weather and Space Climate community. It began as a forum for the European Space Weather community and has since grown into an international event with global attendance.
ESWW2022 will again adopt the central aim of bringing together the diverse groups in Europe working on different aspects of Space Weather and Space Climate: such as scientists, engineers, satellite operators, power grid technicians, communication and navigation specialists, people working in aviation, space weather service providers, STEM* practitioners. The ESWW is highly interdisciplinary by nature and actively promotes investigation of new technologies and approaches e.g. machine learning in a space weather context.
ESWW also welcomes space weather end users. End users constitute any group/organisation making use of space weather data and services. Fields include but are not limited to spacecraft operation, spacecraft design, space and ground based telecoms and navigation services, power distribution, pipeline operation, aviation safety, railway operators, insurance companies, civil contingency planning, and scientists.
ESWW is an excellent place to meet people, to exchange knowledge and ideas, to discuss the latest on solar activity, how space weather influences the earth environment on the short and on the long term and our technologies, and how to deal with space weather.
This year's edition takes place in the french city of space: Toulouse. The event is locally organised by OFRAME
*STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics
ESWW 2023 is devoted to universal values of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), as well as sustainability regarding the environmental impact and we expect the respectful behavior of all participants of ESWW 2023.

The call for Plenary and Parallel Sessions opens 31st of January 2023. For more information on sessions have a look at PROGRAM and also on past events (PAST on the top menu).
The program of the ESWW is made by and for the members of the space weather community. Therefore this event relies on the active participation of the community. The procedure is as follows: members can propose topics that are handled within a session during the Call for Plenary and Parallel Sessions timeframe. There are several session types: Plenary Sessions, Parallel Space Weather Research Sessions, Parallel 100% Community-Driven Sessions. Please find a more detailed description below. The program committee chooses from the pool of proposed topics to generate a homogenised topical proram of the ESWW that is aligned with the specific year’s theme. After that the community can submit abstracts for talks, posters and quick views to the specific sessions. Another important part of the ESWW are the topical discussion meetings which cover topics that are of interest and debated by the whole space weather community. The call for these meetings usually opens later than the Call for Plenary and Parallel Sessions.
The ESWW plenary sessions form a key component of the conference. They are designed to be open to all attendees and therefore represent topics that are of interest to the wider space weather community. The plenary sessions are aligned with the conference theme and are selected by the program committee after the deadline of the Call for Plenary and Parallel Sessions. The conveners of the chosen sessions are notified, followed by the opening of abstract submission for Sessions.
The Space Weather Research (SWR) sessions have fixed titles spanning the common themes of the ESWW. As space weather is a multi-disciplinary field of applied science with many connections between different areas of research there are many different ways to divide the topics of the SWR sessions. It is desirable to vary this each year to make different connections in the areas of research. Nominally, the SWR sessions would cover 70% of the time reserved for parallel sessions. A maximum of three conveners are allowed per SWR session.
The reason for fixing topics is to limit the amount of overlap whilst ensuring that key recurring active areas of space weather research are always covered. We are searching for motivated conveners for the SWR sessions who can produce an abstract with broad appeal and whose expertise covers the extent of the theme.
The 100% Community-Driven (100CD) sessions have titles provided by conveners and are intended to change each year focussing on topics that have specific relevance in that moment, connect themes in ways not foreseen in that year’s SWR sessions and are fundamentally different in focus from parallel sessions in previous years.
Nominally, the 100CD sessions would cover 30% of the time reserved for parallel sessions. The aim for the 100CD sessions is to elicit an as extensive and varied response as possible to give a more dynamic flavor to ESWW.
A maximum of three conveners are allowed per CD session.
A major feature of the European Space Weather Week (ESWW) is the live contribution made by the participants. Topical Discussion Meetings (TDMs) are a principal programme component providing this by creating arenas for engaging debate. Topical discussions on the newest insights in space weather, on the challenges and threats that space weather can cause, emerging new science - all of these and more are relevant and eligible for TDMs at ESWW.
TDM is a 1h 15min (or 1h) informal meeting with NO abstract submission form and therefore NO poster contributions.
The purpose of a TDM is the encouragement of open discussion on a specific topic of general interest, augmenting a Plenary or Conference Theme. Proposed TDM descriptions are to indicate key questions and issues that will be discussed.
Conveners are responsible for promoting their TDM. Convenors can e.g. make a single-slide/small poster to introduce the TDM, give the background of the relevance of the TDM, the type of the TDM, what the TDM expects to achieve, and also who the designated Topic Introducers will be. All TDM material can be uploaded to the ESWW2022 website to be made publicly available.
