Indigenous Peoples, policymakers, and other interested parties from around the world and serving as a crucial milestone for shaping the fifth International Polar Year (IPY5). ASSW 2025 organizers are now accepting abstracts for the Fourth International Conference
on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV) Summit, which will take place during ASSW on 25-28 March 2025, immediately following the ASSW 2025 business and community meetings (20-24 March 2025). Several sessions directly related to geospace/space weather research
are planned, including:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
