Summary Report 
International Symposium on Solar-Terrestrial Physics (ISSTP)
Pune, India, November 6 - 9, 2012
This meeting under the aegis of the SCOSTEP is expected to draw leading scientists from around the world in the increasingly important, interdisciplinary fields of Solar activity and its impact on geospace and life on the Earth. With major observational solar facilities being planned in India, this meeting is especially pertinent in the Indian context.
The meeting is expected to involve professional scientists as well as graduate students, and will have a mixture of invited and contributed talks and posters. There will also be a one-day tutorial for the benefit of young people beginning work in the field of solar-terrestrial physics.

7th WORKSHOP ON LONG-TERM CHANGES AND TRENDS IN THE ATMOSPHERE
Buenos Aires, Argentina, 11-14 September 2012
Long-term changes to Earth’s atmosphere are becoming more and more relevant to the future of our world and it is paramount that we quantify and understand changes occurring at all levels within the coupled atmospheric system. The increasing concentration of greenhouse gases, stratospheric ozone depletion, varying solar and geomagnetic activity, secular change of Earth’s magnetic field, and changing dynamics propagating up from the troposphere are some of the possible causes of long-term changes in the stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere. The goals of this workshop are to review the current state of knowledge about trends in these atmospheric regions, and to discuss what research is necessary for resolving inconsistencies, reducing uncertainties, and achieving a deeper understanding of middle and upper atmospheric climate change - especially the relative influences of anthropogenic and solar effects.
We welcome papers using all types of observational techniques to determine the long-term changes and trends that have occurred in the past and also to determine the processes behind those changes.
The previous Workshops on Long-Term Changes and Trends in the Atmosphere were: (1) 1999 Pune, India; (2) 2001 Prague, Czech Republic; (3) 2004 Sozopol, Bulgaria; (4) 2006 Sodankyla, Finland; (5) 2008 Saint Petersburg, Russia; (6) 2010 Boulder, Colorado, USA

Applications of Global Navigation Satellite Systems
Riga, Latvia 14–18 May 2012
Introduction
A five-day workshop on global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) technology and its applications in Riga, Latvia, from 14 to 18 May 2012 is being organized by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) in cooperation with the Government of Latvia, the United States of America through the International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (ICG) and the European Space Agency (ESA), as part of the activities of the United Nations Programme on Space Applications, for the benefit of the countries in Europe. The Workshop will be hosted by the Latvian Geospatial Information Agency on behalf of the Government of Latvia.
Workshop participants will discuss how GNSS-enabling technology can strengthen a network of national reference stations and promote the interoperability of navigation, positioning and timing systems in the region. An overview of a wide range of GNSS applications existing today and prospects for the future, in areas such as surveying, mapping and asset management, precision agriculture, engineering and construction, aviation and maritime, as well as space weather monitoring will be provided.

United Nations/Austria
Symposium on Data Analysis and Image Processing
for Space Applications and Sustainable Development: Space Weather
18 - 21 September 2012, Graz, Austria
Hosted and co-sponsored by the Government of Austria,
the State of
Styria and the City of Graz and
co-sponsored by European Space Agency (ESA)
INFORMATION NOTE click
web link www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/SAP/act2012/graz/index.html
More and more countries are interested in establishing own basic capacities in space technology development and also in access to- and use of diverse space-based data.
In this context, a new Graz Symposium series is proposed starting with 2012. The new series will attempt to address various space-based data analysis and workflows, data availability and data sharing status as well as future opportunities, with a view to facilitate better and easier access to such data and resulting analytical products for general and wide-scale scientific benefit and also in support of decision making processes. Also, as 2012 is the year of the Rio+20 Summit and the initiation of discussions for a post-2015 global development strategy, the Symposium series will look at how various space-based data availability and analysis could support that global development agenda, and how it could help address or monitor the various sustainable development goals and targets set by the United Nations and its Member States in achieving a sustainable development of our Planet.
The focus in 2012 will be on Space Weather data sources, in-situ and space-borne, related networks and potential analysis scenarios including wider access to such data and analysis results. The topic is also timely in light of the predicted maximum solar activity during the 2012-2013 period, and the impact that it could have on the World.
Deadline for Submission of Applications: no later than Friday, 29 June 2012 deadline for registration has been extended up to 15 July 2012.

(a) Review the latest status of deployed space weather instrument arrays, in light of the expansion of initial arrays, their specific data collection workflows, data access and sharing protocols.
(b) Examine the available data analysis tools and skills as developed or customized by institutions and array operators or users, identify potential gaps and needs
(c) Promote active cooperation among the various array communities and a cross-cutting exploitation of the collected data, based on expressed needs, leading to the growth of a network of centres of excellence focusing on analysis of space weather data for research and education.
(d) Expand data analysis efforts for the full set of space weather-related data and other relevant databases, with a view to enable also Space Weather forecasting and to potentially use the analytical results for various decision-making processes
(e) Discuss the way forward and potential concrete coordinated activities
