This open access book presents peer reviewed articles from the United Nations/Germany Workshop on International Space Weather Initiative (ISWI 2024) held from 10 to 15 June at Neustrelitz, Germany. It highlights the current status of global space weather research, especially in developing countries. The topics of the workshop cover the entire Sun Earth system starting from the Sun where most space weather originates and the impact at various points in the inner heliosphere including those on Earth's surface.

This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access Presents peer reviewed articles from ISWI 2024 held at Neustrelitz, Germany Highlights current status of global space weather research, especially in developing countries Includes recommendations for improved collection, exchange, and delivery of space weather data

Dr. Nat Gopalswamy , Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the International Science Council, is an Astrophysicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Solar Physics Laboratory, Heliophysics Science Division. His research is in the area of solar and solar terrestrial physics including coronal mass ejections, solar flares, solar energetic particles, solar radio bursts, interplanetary shocks, and space weather. He is the Executive Director of the International Space Weather Initiative (ISWI), Past President of the Scientific Committee on Solar Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP), and Vice Chair of COSPAR's panel on Space Weather. He was conferred with a Doctor Honoris Causa by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (2019).

Dr. Daniela Bany is a Physicist at the German Aerospace Center DLR, Institute for Solar-Terrestrial Physics. During her studies in Geophysics, she gained insight into seismic risk analysis and radio wave propagation. Her research area now focusses on ground-based space weather observations via very low frequency up to very high frequency measurements. She is European and National Coordinator of the International Space Weather Initiative (ISWI) and Vice President of the Committee Near-Earth Space of the working group on extraterrestrial research (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Extraterrestrische Forschung, AEF). She develops and operates the Global Ionospheric Flare Detection System (GIFDS), and is its ISWI instrument lead.

Ms. Sharafat Gadimova is a program officer at the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs. She leads the United Nations Programme on Space Applications' activities on global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and space weather. She coordinates the work of an International Committee on global navigation satellite systems (ICG) and its Providers' Forum. She is a chair of the ICG Working Group on Capacity Building and Information Dissemination. She is leading the organization of the training programmes on GNSS and space weather at the United Nations-affiliated Regional Centres for Space Science and Technology Education. She is Vice Chair of COSPAR's panel on Space Weather.
