Eighth European Space Weather Week
November 28 - December 02, 2011 - Namur, Belgium


Splinter sessions

A key part of the European Space Weather Weeks are the splinter meetings, open to all participants. These meetings provide the opportunity for interested participants to meet in smaller groups and address key issues in a style that compliments the open format of the plenary sessions. A diverse range of splinters complement the main sessions.
These meetings take the form of working meetings with reports produced and actions taken by the participants. Time during the ESWW8 schedule will be set aside for all splinter meeting convenors to report the main conclusions of the meetings to the full workshop.
