E-SWAN Education and Outreach Grants

E-SWAN is delighted to announce the launching of the E-SWAN Education and Outreach Grants! The grants are awarded to E-SWAN members who develop and organise an outreach, education or training project that aims to raise awareness of space weather and space climate among scientists,  non-scientists, relevant industries, students, children, or the general public.

This opportunity is in the frame of E-SWAN's mission to promote education, advanced training and outreach and raise awareness in the field of Space Weather and Space Climate.
