The 2015 International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) Workshop will take
place at the King Mongkut Institute of Technology Ladkrabang in Bangkok,
Thailand from November 2 to 13, 2015. The 2-week workshop is supported
under the COSPAR Capacity-Building Workshop program and consists of
student-oriented lectures and tutorials during the first week followed
by the regular IRI science meeting in the second week. The first week
activities will introduce graduate students and young researchers to the
basics of ionospheric monitoring and modeling and related online
resources. The second week will be organized as a regular IRI workshop
with oral and poster presentations. The special focus of this workshop
will be the ‘Improved Accuracy of Ionospheric Models in the Equatorial 
Region and Progress Towards a Real-Time IRI model’.  But papers on all 
IRI-related topics are welcome including new data sources, model 
Improvements, applications, and new additions for IRI.  A strong participation 
from local and regional scientists is expected and offers an opportunity to 
better understand and connect with research partners and data sources 
from the Southeast-Asian sector.

A selection of papers from the workshop will make up the core of a special
issue of Advances in Space Research.
