SUMMARY:ISSS Course on “The Polar Upper Atmosphere: from Science to Operational Issues”
LOCATION:L’Aquila\, Italy
DESCRIPTION:The International School of Space Science of the Consorzio Interuniversitar
 io per la Fisica Spaziale organizes a Course on “The Polar Upper Atmosphere
 : from Science to Operational Issues”, to be held in L’Aquila, Italy, 17-21
  September 2018, directed by G. De Franceschi, M. Mendillo, C. Mitchell.\nT
 he goal of the school is to foster excitement and encourage involvement of 
 the next generation of space researchers in studies of the geospace environ
 ment of Polar Regions. The importance of these regions is rapidly growing d
 ue to modern society’s dependence on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (G
 NSS) services and products, strongly affected by ionospheric variability at
  high latitudes. Topics will focus on the infrastructures for multi-instrum
 ent monitoring, data management from sub auroral to polar latitudes, the ne
 ed for specialized models of the upper atmosphere, and the development of m
 itigation algorithms to improve GNSS services and products. The school is m
 ainly addressed to graduate and post-graduate students with enthusiastic in
 terest on this topic. Students-teams will be organized through an “inside t
 eam building” activity scheduled on the first day of the school. This initi
 al activity will formulate, under the supervision of experts, the “first it
 eration” of student-led project proposals. The establishment of the student
 -teams aims to both stimulate the interaction among the new generation of s
 cientists from different countries and furnish the preliminary tools to bui
 ld successful project proposals. On the final day the students-teams will p
 resent their project results and participate in their evaluation by the Sch
 ool Program and Organization Committees.\nApplications are due before May 6
 , 2018.\nFor more information visit http://www.cifs-isss.org/ or send an e-
