for connection information. *

This is a special panel event that will occur in connection with the
National Science Foundation-Funded "Simulating Space Weather Extremes"
workshop. The panel is titled "Research and Development (R&D)
Opportunities" and will identify needed projects and applications related
to R&D gaps in the Sun-to-Power-Grid system. While the workshop is an
in-person-only event, the panel is open to broaden participation

On April 12, 2022 a convergent
<https://www.nsf.gov/od/oia/convergence/index.jsp> group crossing the
Sun-to-Power Grid system are running a space weather ‘simulation game,’ a
low-risk, cost-effective environment to unite researchers, decision-makers,
and operators to assess the preparedness for threats and hazards posed by
space weather on the electric power grid.

That group includes the National Science Foundation, NASA, Department of
Energy, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC), North American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC), United States Geological Survey (USGS), National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), several national programs,
and numerous academic and private institutions.

The organizers of this National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded workshop
<https://www.chessscience.com/sim-game-workshop> are engaging the broader
community on April 14 through an open panel session to discuss the outcomes
of the simulation game, particularly relating the insights to the most
important future gaps, trends, and projects for the future.

Warmly,
Ryan McGranaghan *on behalf of the Workshop Steering Committee*
