The 2017 International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) Workshop will take place at the National Central University (NCU) in Taoyuan City, Taiwan from November 6 to 17, 2017. The NCU campus is just a short taxi ride from Taipei’s Taoyuan International Airport (TPE). 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 students will work on specific modeling problems in small groups and report their results at the end of the second conference week to the full IRI workshop audience. The second week will be organized as a regular IRI workshop with oral and poster presentations. The special topic of this workshop will be “Improved Real-time Ionospheric Predictions with IRI, COSMIC and other GNSS data”. Papers on general IRI-related topics are also welcome including new data sources and improvements and new additions for IRI. Of special interest are also applications of the IRI model in all areas of technology and science.

Students and Young Researchers are encouraged to apply for financial support. Funding will be provided for travel, housing, and meals for all selected students (30-35).
