discussion of how to
best address the challenges of predicting space weather in the
sessions:</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The workshops are an opportunity for the CEDAR
community to
put forward its ideas regarding the instrumentation that is
required to enable
prediction of space weather. The community will be asked to
address five
questions:</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Each question will be addressed in short
