E-SWAN first anniversary! (by Luca Spogli, President of E-SWAN)
E-SWAN celebrated its first anniversary during the EGU General Assembly 2023 in Vienna. The townhall meeting organized for this purpose was also the occasion to update attendees about the future plans and activities of E-SWAN and stress again the importance of this association for the benefit of the Space Weather and Space Climate Community as a whole. During the townhall, a set of interviews for E-SWAN has been announced. These interviews are with key actors in the Space Weather and Space Climate and will be released on a bi-weekly basis on the newly created E-SWAN youtube channel. A summary video, mixing up some, has been also projected during the meeting to welcome such a series.
Now E-SWAN has two new media to disseminate its activities: the aforementioned youtube channel and a LinkedIn profile. Get in touch with E-SWAN also through them to be constantly updated about activities.

President of E-SWAN
