The 1st AOSWA Workshop

    The 1st AOSWA Workshop

    From the General Chair

     

         The Asia-Oceania Space Weather Alliance (AOSWA) was established in 2010 with 13 associated organizations from 7 countries. AOSWA has two major objectives; to make progress in collaborative research and practical operations of space weather forecasting.

    This AOSWA workshop in Chiang Mai, Thailand from February 22nd to 24th is the first regional/international workshop for researchers and operators of space weather forecast in Asia-Oceania countries. The subjects of the workshop are diverse, including research in ionospheric and magnetospheric science, solar wind and other space weather related phenomena.

    It is clear that a regional workshop in the Asia-Oceania area is vital for improvement of space weather forecasting services. The research efforts, operational collaboration, data exchanges, and some competition will lead to further development of space weather activities; a primary goal of the workshop. The AOSWA associate organizations have planned an annual AOSWA workshop, supported by ISES (International Space Environment Service) and other organizations in the Asia-Oceania region.

    It is an honor for NICT to support the first workshop of AOSWA, with the help of Dr. Akachai Sang-In (General Co-Chair), the members of the Local Organizing Committee (Chiang Mai University), the members of the General Committee, and the members of the Program and Organizing Committee. I look forward to fruitful discussions among the participants who work in space weather fields in Asia-Oceania, especially from the view point of Asia-Oceania regional collaborations.

    From the Co-Chair

     

         It is another great opportunity for people who work with Space Weather in Asia-Oceania region to gather in Chiang Mai this time for the AOSWA (Asia-Oceania Space Weather Alliance) workshop. Although the AOSWA workshop held between 22nd and 24th February 2012 is the first regional/international workshop, but the experiences accumulated from 13 associated organizations from 7 countries are most valuable things to share and discuss.


         The workshop does not aim only at some specific area, but related phenomena about space weather, such as solar wind, ionospheric and magnetospheric science, are broadly mentioned. As the General Co-chair of the workshop, I do hope that this event will provide and come up with fruitful discussions and conclusions for participants to establish concrete collaborative researches and practical activities in the future, especially in the areas concerning space weather forecasting. So the advances of related knowledge, activities and technologies will be built up in Asia-Oceania countries.

         However, this AOSWA workshop will not be possible if it does not received strong supports from ISES (International Space Environment Service), NICT (National Institute of Information and Communications Technology of Japan) and other organizations in the Asia-Oceania region. So I would like to express my sincere thanks to the mentioned organizations, Local Organizing Committee, Program and Organizing Committees, and all participants for their supports and efforts to make this workshop possible.
