*_Course _**_on “The Polar Upper Atmosphere: from Science to Operational
Issues”
_*The *International School of Space Science* of the Consorzio
Interuniversitario per la Fisica Spaziale organizes a Course on *“The
Polar Upper Atmosphere: from Science to Operational Issues”*, to be held
in L’Aquila, Italy, *17-21 September 2018*, directed by G. De
Franceschi, M. Mendillo, C. Mitchell.
The goal of the school is to foster excitement and encourage involvement
of the next generation of space researchers in studies of the geospace
environment of Polar Regions.The importance of these regions is rapidly
growing due to modern society’s dependence on Global Navigation
Satellite Systems (GNSS) services and products, strongly affected by
ionospheric variability at high latitudes. Topics will focus on the
infrastructures for multi-instrument monitoring, data management from
sub auroral to polar latitudes, the need for specialized models of the
upper atmosphere, and the development of mitigation algorithms to
improve GNSS services and products. The school is mainly addressed to
graduate and post-graduate students with enthusiastic interest on this
topic. Students-teams will be organized through an “inside team
building” activity scheduled on the first day of the school.This initial
activity will formulate, under the supervision of experts, the “first
iteration” of student-led project proposals. The establishment of the
student-teams aims to both stimulate the interaction among the new
generation of scientists from different countries and furnish the
preliminary tools to build successful project proposals.On the final day
the students-teams will present their project results and participate in
their evaluation by the School Program and Organization Committees.
*Applications are due before May 6, 2018.*
