The 3rd PSTEP International Symposium (PSTEP-3)
“Toward the Solar-Terrestrial Environment Prediction as Science and Social Infrastructure”

It is our great pleasure to announce that the 3rd PSTEP International Symposium (PSTEP-3) will be held at National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in May 2018.

Project for Solar-Terrestrial Environment Prediction (PSTEP) started in 2015. The 3rd year will have passed soon and fruitful scientific results and useful contents have been published now. We will focus the two themes of in the PSTEP-3. One is the improvement of Space weather forecast system communicating with social counterpart, and the other one is the academic science of magnetospheric and ionospheric research.
This symposium set closely two relational meetings, Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU, May 20-24, Makuhari) and WMO/IPT-SWeISS (May 21-23, Koganei). We hope to have active discussions cooperating with these communities.
