  3. Overall conclusions • Awareness of the risks from space weather is highamong the communityof experts butfurtherworkremainstoturnthisawarenessintopolitical action. • Thereare still major knowledge gaps when it comestounderstanding the direct and indirectimplicationsof an extreme space weather event on society at large • International and EU collaborationon developing space weatherresilienceremains a criticalprecondition for future progress.

  4. Sample of recommendations forScience, Operations and Policy: • It is essential to create a solid link between space research and security researchfocusing on critical infrastructure protection. • There is a need to develop methods and models that can help bridge the communication gap between senders and receivers of alerts and forecasts. The operators who receive the alerts need to understand what they mean and how to act. • An increasing number of nations are developing processes for risk assessment covering also the risks from extreme space weather. We need to develop Euro-Atlantic cooperation in relation to risk assessments on extreme space weather through identifying and sharing lessons learned.

  5. JRC/MSB/NOAA International Workshop • “Exchange of experience- Historical impacts on grid systems and how does grid vulnerability in Europe differ from U.S.? • “Early warning/Alert- What are the needs in terms of required timelines and accuracy of space weather products?” • “Mitigation measures- How do they work in practice?What organizational capacities are needed to receive, assess and operationalize warnings?”
