Liaison office (LIAS)

Presentation

The Liaison office (LIAS) Working Group is formed by people that have roles in associations related to E-SWAN activities.

Their role is to represent ESWAN in those associations, liaising with them and the E-SWAN Executive Board about initiatives with common interest.

In a highly multidisciplinary environment of space weather and space climate, finding novel ways to collaborate and support common goals are key to obtaining wider applicability.

The LIAS WG efforts currently focus on providing suggestions for leveraging already established concepts (such as COSPAR iSWAT).
