November 5-9, 2018 in Leuven (Belgium), the 15th European Space Weather Week took place. Space Weather has effects on the functioning and reliability of spaceborne and ground-based systems. ESA is therefore a major sponsor of this conference and interviewed researchers to the topic of Space Weather (see links). Among almost 400 participants, ESA counts on the expertise from the Astrophysics department of the Institute of Physics at the University of Graz.
