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 (9-13 Sep) will be organized as a regular IRI workshop with oral and poster presentations on the topic of ‘Improving real-time ionospheric modeling in the European and African sector’. Presentations on general IRI-related topics are also welcome including new data sources and improvements and new additions for the IRI model. Of special interest are applications of the IRI model in all areas of technology and science.
