The 2010 International Space Weather Initiative School in Space Physics.
The IHY (for more information see http://ihy2007.org/index.html) has successfully conducted many programs that have not only popularized space science all over the world and but also created favorable conditions for joint research and training in some sort of global framework. African scientists have successfully participated in the IHY and many research level scientific instruments have been installed in many parts of Africa in the framework of the IHY.
In oder to make maximum use of these and other similar initiatives and establish strong space research groups in Africa, a high level training of young students and researchers is very crucial. The present summer school is a continuation of the African Regional IHY School, which was conducted in November 10-22, 2008 in Nigeria and it will the first ISWI (International Space Weather Initiative) - Africa School on Space Physics.
