HPM#1
PITHIA-NRF organised the First High Profile Meeting on Tuesday 14 March 2023 at the Brussels Planetarium, Belgium. 40 participants - PITHIA-NRF members, users, scientists and stakeholders - attended the meeting, which was hybrid.
The PITHIA-NRF High Profile Meeting aims at providing an attractive platform to exchange and present results on the latest Plasmasphere Ionosphere and Thermosphere research developments, to discuss new ideas and to network with representatives from organisations that develop and use products and services for protecting critical systems from short and long-term disturbances in the upper atmosphere and plasmasphere. Close interaction with the Consortium will make sure that project developments follow the state of the art, making possible the interoperability with other complementary systems developed worldwide, improving the usability of its services and paving the way towards the long-term sustainability of PITHIA-NRF operations.

WHAT IS PITHIA-NRF?
PITHIA-NRF stands for “Plasmasphere Ionosphere Thermosphere Integrated Research Environment and Access services: a Network of Research Facilities”. It is a research project that paves the way to business practices and technological developments in the near-Earth and upper atmosphere. PITHIA-NRF mitigates the adverse effects of upper atmosphere phenomena that pose scientific, operational, and societal challenges.
With support of the Royal Observatory of Belgium, Royal Meteorological Institute and the Solar-Terrestrial Centre of Excellence.
