#SpaceWatchGL: Search for Independence – European Prospects in the Field of Solar Weather Monitoring
In the last decade, space weather has become the subject of serious consideration in the scientific community and global scientific organizations.

As a consequence, there is a need for a reliable and independent ecosystem for monitoring and forecasting solar weather. Today, the European space sector faces the challenge of creating infrastructure capable of competing with existing international initiatives.
