measurement of the geospace environment, the study of the ionosphere and its coupling to the lower atmosphere and magnetosphere. It provides a platform to present results from previous multi-radar experiments and to discuss future plans for coordinated observations
with existing and future facilities. This includes long-period co-ordinations similar to the International Polar Year, and the future of the World Day programme, as well as the discussions how to further harmonize the data formats. Contributions are also welcome
on planning observations with and making best use of future advanced ISR facilities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
