We have an ever-increasing vulnerability to potential space-weather (SW) impacts due to Society's continuously-growing reliance on advanced/novel technologies. To better-mitigate and/or forecast SW effects on critical infrastructures, we must evaluate what has been achieved in the past, what critical elements are needing to be worked on now, and where things need to go in the immediate/near-mid future (1-10 years horizons).

In this year’s session, the seventh incarnation since 2015, the panel will focus on the various strategies, white papers, and roadmaps (such as the UN COPUOS Expert Group on SW, COSPAR Panel on SW Updated Roadmap, the Heliophysical Decadal Surveys, new instrument designs, etc...), what has been achieved thus far, where there are commonalities/cross-collaboration opportunities, and where unified pathways to the future can be developed.

For this session, we welcome planning-for-the-future contributions on all aspects of SW including observations/measurements and theory/modelling as well as direct engineering considerations for SW impacts.
