<p class="MsoNormal">Session Description<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#262626">There are many end-user applications of space weather information that require improved space weather forecasting and analysis. Improving forecasting and analysis requires technical insight, operational expertise,
and advances in our understanding of space weather science. In recent years operational organizations, such as NOAA and DOD, have made efforts to work closely with the academic community and private sector, as exemplified by the tri-agency Space Weather Operations-to-Research
(O2R) grants program. The goal of this session is to provide a venue to showcase new and ongoing efforts connecting space weather research with operational and end-user needs to protect society against the social and economic impacts of space weather and to
identify current gaps and obstacles in the Research to Operations to Research (R2O2R) process. We invite talks covering observations, models, and new capabilities that will advance operational applications related to space weather.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
