We are delighted to announce an inaugural workshop on Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GIC) to bring together participants from research, industry and government domains to develop a supported and sustained community. The primary goal of this workshop is to develop a community engaged in integration of research with their applications to the needs of industry and government agencies in managing potential consequences from impact to critical infrastructure. A key objective of the workshop is to build on the outcomes of the earlier initiatives, a strong community supported by funding agencies to support sustained research and collaboration across all GIC arenas.

The workshop will build on the outcomes of the GIC Innovation Lab (Golden CO, November 2022) and more details will be forthcoming. We look forward to ideas and suggestions for a stimulating and fruitful workshop.
