The SIDC revealed

On October 6 and 7, the SIDC puts its cards on the table during the opendoors of the Royal Observatory of Belgium, the Royal Meteorological Institute and the Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy.

The central theme is the Sun which is the speciality of the SIDC where sunspots, space weather and solar research are part of the daily life.

We invite everybody to take a tour to get a taste of the space pole and the International Heliophysical Year. Maquettes, multi-media material and nice displays will show the role of the SIDC in international space missions.

Fourth European Space Weather Week

From November 5 to 9, 2007, scientists from all over the world will gather in Brussels to discuss space weather. This is the second time THE European space weather event takes place in Belgium.

The SIDC, part of the Royal Observatory of Belgium (ROB) takes care of the local organisation. The SIDC is well placed for this task as a space weather research and service center. The conference is hosted by the Royal Library of Belgium, like the ROB itself one of the 10 federal scientific institutes under the umbrella of the Belgian Science Policy.
