“Toward the Solar-Terrestrial Environment Prediction as Science and Social Infrastructure”
It is our great pleasure to announce that the 2nd PSTEP International Symposium (PSTEP-2) will be held at Kyoto University from 23 to 24 March, 2017.
PSTEP-2 is the international symposium organized by the Project for Solar-Terrestrial Environment Prediction (PSTEP), which is a multi-institute project supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas from MEXT/Japan. This symposium will provide valuable opportunities to discuss the current status and future prospect of solar-terrestrial environment prediction as well as to foster the international joint research of the space weather and space climate studies. This symposium addresses mainly the prediction of solar storm and solar cycle and its influences on global environment. Also the economic impacts of space weather disaster and geo-space disturbances are included in the scope of the symposium. The program consists of keynote and invited presentations, contributed presentations, and open discussions. We are looking forward to your participation in PSTEP-2 and welcoming you to the beautiful city Kyoto in March.
Date: 23 to 24 March, 2017
Venue: Science Seminar House, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University.
