UK Space Weather and Space Environment Meeting 2025

The third annual UK Space Weather & Space Environment Meeting is set to take place in Sheffield, bringing together leading scientists, engineers, and policy makers to tackle critical challenges in our understanding of space weather phenomena. While maintaining its UK foundation, the conference actively encourages international participation, reflecting the global nature of space weather threats and the collaborative approach needed to address them.

This year’s summit arrives at a particularly crucial time, with the focus squarely on navigating the complexities of solar maximum and its wide-ranging impacts on our increasingly space-dependent society. From satellite communications to power grids, the effects of space weather events have never been more significant as our reliance on space-based technologies continues to grow.

The meeting represents part of an ongoing series designed to foster multinational collaboration in space safety research and forecasting. Attendees will include space safety scientists, forecasters, end-users, and policy makers, all working together to enhance our collective resilience to space weather events and deepen our understanding of Earth’s dynamic space environment.

As solar activity reaches its peak cycle, the timing of this Sheffield gathering underscores the urgent need for international cooperation in monitoring, predicting, and mitigating space weather impacts that affect everything from GPS navigation to airline operations and electrical infrastructure worldwide.
