From October 31 to November 4, the United Nations Office for Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and Baku State University (BSU) organized the United Nations / Azerbaijan Workshop on the International Space Initiative: UN / Azerbaijan Workshop on the Sun, Space, Air and Geosphere. on the International Space Weather Initiative: The Sun, Space Weather and Geosphere ”(https://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/psa/schedule/2022/2022-iswi-workshop.html ? testme).

Baku State University told APA that the International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) (ICG) will also support the high-level event to be held in Baku.

In recent years, Azerbaijan has paid special attention to the development of space research and the space industry, the application of modern technologies, and training plays an important role in this direction.

It should be noted that The International Space Weather Initiative (ISWI) is an international cooperation program that installs devices necessary for obtaining space weather data, analyzes that data and analyzes the results with other digital scientific data.

The event to be held in Baku within the framework of this program will open wide opportunities for the development of this field in Azerbaijan.

The main objectives of the 5-day international scientific event are to install relevant scientific devices and develop space weather data processing in developing countries, to focus on research results of special interest, as well as to raise international coordination and cooperation to a new level.

In order to exchange and discuss scientific and practical knowledge on Space Air and Global Satellite Navigation Systems at the international scientific event, scientists and specialists from Azerbaijan, Europe, Asia and Africa presented plenary, oral and poster reports on Solar Physics, Solar-Earth Relations, Space Devices and Information Base, Space Air Modeling, Space Air Impacts on Global Navigation Satellite Systems, Geosphere, Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere Connections,

The expected outcomes of the workshop will include the development, preparation of recommendations for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of modeling and forecasting methods through the collection, exchange and delivery of high-precision space weather data, as well as the promotion of best practices.

Discussions at the event will also be linked to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its goals for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the findings and recommendations will be presented to the UN General Assembly as part of a report by the United Nations Committee on Peaceful Uses of Space (COPUOS). will be.
