The 2023 International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) Workshop will take place at the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) in Daejeon, South Korea from May 8 to 19, 2023.  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 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 week to the full IRI workshop audience. The second week (15-19 May) will be organized as a regular IRI workshop with oral and poster presentations on the topic of ‘Improved Real-time Ionospheric Predictions with Data from Space-borne Sensors and GNSS’. 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, science and education. Organizing Committee: Young-Sil Kwak (Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, KASI), Dieter Bilitza (George Mason University, USA), Yong-Ha Kim (Chungnam National University), Jaejin Lee (KASI), Wookyoung Lee (KASI), Gweonhwa Jee (Korea Polar Research Institute), Suyeon Oh (Cheonnam National University), Kyoung-Wook Min (KASI), and Jeong-Heon Kim (KASI).
