Workshop description
The aim of the User Workshop is to inform prospective users about the mid- and long-term outcomes of the LOFAR4SW project and to find a common ground for the future exploitation of the results. This will be the basis for the future plan to implement the designed LOFAR4SW infrastructure. The selected representatives from different areas of the space weather community: science, services and industry, will have a unique possibility to express their interest in the specific scientific areas explored within the project. The collected feedback from the workshop will help to prioritise the designed project products and operational modes, taking into account the interest of the space weather community.
