The ESA SSA Space Weather Network is being developed to provide timely and high quality services to the Space Weather user community. The Network centres around the SSA Space Weather Coordination Centre and five Expert Service Centres (Solar Weather, Heliospheric Weather, Space Radiation, Ionospheric Weather and Geomagnetic conditions), which together provide the user with access to a wealth of state-of-the-art products, toolkits and expertise, in the frame of focussed space weather services.

This year we are pleased to organise an innovative and interactive session to both introduce the SWE services in their current format, and discuss high priority data and product needs to enable further development and service improvement. All are welcome to participate.

In the first part (15:00 - 16:15) a training session will be given on how to use the SWE Portal (http://swe.ssa.esa.int) and services with user interaction. If you bring your laptop you will be able to utilise the services during the session. A limited number of guest accounts will be provided for the session, but advance registration is recommended.

In the second part (17:15-18:30) a panel discussion linked to session 12 will be organised, focussing on high priority data needs for the SSA Space Weather Network
