PSTEP (Project for Solar-Terrestrial Environment Prediction) is a nation-wide project, which was recently established with the support of the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas from MEXT/Japan. In this project, we are aiming for synergistic development of the solar-terrestrial science research and the next generation space weather forecast. More than fifty scientists from the various disciplines on the sun, heliosphere, magnetosphere, ionosphere, climate, and space weather forecast operation collaborate in this project, which continues five years from this fiscal year.

The 1st PSTEP International Symposium is a forum to discuss the current status and future prospect of solar-terrestrial environment prediction, and also a valuable opportunity to formulate the international joint research planning.
