    Space Weather Introductory Course

    → Europe/Brussels
    Elke D'Huys (STCE), Jan Janssens (STCE), Petra Vanlommel (STCE)
    Description

    This course is intended as an entry course on Space Weather. It provides an elementary overview over the relevant aspects of space weather without invoking complicated background physics. The course is required for meteorologists and space staff that have high school knowledge of physics and will be providing Space Weather information to military and civilian end users.

    The course is on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Wednesday, we take a day off giving participants the time to run through the notes before the online review examination on Thursday.
