But, all this cannot be done properly without a good knowledge about the Sun and the relations between the Sun and us
• How and why does the Sun vary?
• How does the Earth respond?
• What are the impacts on humanity?
International Living With a Star Program, ILWS
What is space weather?
The term "Space Weather" refers to conditions on the Sun and in the solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere and thermosphere that can influence the performance and reliability of space-borne and ground-based technological systems and can endanger human life or health.
ILWS Science –Space Weather
What's the worst that could happen?
A 2008 report published by the U. S. National Research Council detailed the societal and economic impacts of severe space weather events. The report reviewed recent power disruptions costing up to $10 billion, and estimated that an extremely severe geomagnetic storm could cost "$1 trillion to $2 trillion during the first year alone."
The prediction for the next sunspot cycle maximum gives a sunspot number of about 64 in July 2013.
As we become more reliant on technology, we become increasingly vulnerable to the effects that space weather can have on technology in space and on the Earth.

In 2000, NASA established Living With a Star, a program to support space weather research. Other international space agencies were establishing space weather programs as well.
In 2001, the Inter-Agency Consultative Group (IACG) established a Task Group to study prospects for developing an International Living With a Star program. The Task Group met in May 2001 in Tenerife and determined the following:
• The ILWS program has substantial potential for stimulating and enabling a new international effort in solar-terrestrial research.
• ILWS could provide an umbrella for forging necessary international coordination, cooperation, and bi-lateral and multi-lateral agency collaborations.
In facing these challenges an International Organization is formed:
In January 2002 the IACG accepted the recommendation of the Task Group, establishing the International Living With a Star Program
The ILWS Kickoff Meeting was held in September 2002 in Washington, DC. Participants included ESA, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Japan, Norway, Russia, Switzerland and USA (NOAA and NASA).
The first ILWS Task Groups formed in 2002-2003.
ILWS officially commenced in January 2003.
ILWS: History
Mission
• Stimulate, strengthen, and coordinate space research to understand the governing processes of the connected Sun-Earth system as an integrated entity.
Objectives
To stimulate and facilitate:
• Study of the Sun-Earth connected system as a system and its effect which influence life and society.
• Synergistic coordination of international research in solar-terrestrial physics, including all relevant data sources as well as theory and modeling.
• Collaboration among potential partners in solar-terrestrial space missions.
• Effective and user driven access to all data, results, and value-added products.

ILWS: Recent Events
We are on the verge of an exciting decade of discovery and international cooperation. However, much remains to be done.
• Articulate a powerful and sustainable vision for our science
• Strengthen the international framework of cooperation
• Establish a data and modeling infrastructure
• Work with other international organizations
• A well-organized ILWS will help address all of these needs.
Toward the ILWS Future
Additional note: The upcoming solar maximum may turn out to be a small one. Although past efforts have prioritized big storms and their effects, this will be an opportunity for the space weather community to place an emphasis on solar minimum effects (such as cosmic rays) and long-term effects.
Welcome you all at this
