This agenda outlines crucial developments in ionospheric research, emphasizing the Low Latitude Ionospheric Sensor Network (LISN) as South America's first distributed observatory. Key topics include mid to large scale ionospheric perturbation characteristics, ESA’s priorities for effective monitoring, and the impact of ionospheric conditions on ESA missions. Discussions focus on long-term data collection, improved electron density modelling, scintillation monitoring, and the customer-oriented approach at DLT. The aim is to enhance nowcasting and forecasting capabilities regarding equatorial ionosphere phenomena.
