[3] Dhani Herdiwijaya Brief Annual Report of International Space Weather Initiative (ISWI) 2016 – Indonesia
In Indonesia, solar physical activities and space weather monitoring have been established by two institutions at Bosscha Observatory, Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) and Indonesian National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN). Altough they have different organizational history, vision, mission, goals, and funding, space weather becomes a focal point to be addressed and collaborated. ITB is a prominent university in Indonesia which provides, the only one, undergraduate and graduate programs in astronomy and astrophysics, since October 18, 1951.

Note: Both of the above are still subject to change. Please have a look again as the opening of the workshop gets near.
From the workshop website:This workshop marks the 10th anniversary of the International Heliophysical Year, which led to the genesis of the International Space Weather Initiative. It is organized jointly by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Institute for Scientific Research at Boston College to highlight the achievements made over the past ten years and to show-case the worldwide development of science, capacity building, and outreach.
The workshop will begin with a high level international forum on the economic and societal effects of extreme space weather. This forum will include keynote speakers from major international organizations and governments followed by panel sessions to discuss issues and policies for acknowledging space weather as a global challenge.
The workshop is also held in preparation for UNISPACE+50 in 2018, the 50th anniversary of the first UN Conference on the Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNISPACE), held in Vienna in 1968.
These three components of the workshop will help develop a coherent international policy towards an appropriate response to space weather.
