Hi all, a friend and colleague from work asked me to pass this along to the community.

The sixth European Space Weather Week will take place in Brugge, Belgium, from Monday 16th November to Friday 20th November 2009.

The ESWW meetings aim to bring together diverse communities working on all elements of space weather with a strong focus on user involvement. This year’s meeting will discuss recent advances in both scientific and applications based domains and how these advances relate to user needs.

This year the space weather tutorial and one of the plenary sessions will focus on issues relating to space weather effects on communications. With this in mind, the programme committee has made a special arrangement for radio hams who would like to attend the meeting.

Radio amateurs with a license to operate are also welcome to the conference and will get a discount. Radio Amateurs are requested to send a copy of their license to esa.conference.bureau@esa.int within one week after registration. Registration as a Radio Amateur includes access to scientific sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday and tutorial only. The reduced fee is 50 €. Attendance to the reception and conference dinner is not included. The deadline for online registration for hams is October 19.
