The first of two SPIDER sessions at ERIM featured a series of talks to introduce the SPIDER Planetary Space Weather Services:

• Nicolas Andre (CNRS/IRAP): SPIDER services
• Sebastien Hess (ONERA): Ingestion of numerical simulations Moderator: Andrea Opitz (Wigner)

SPIDER (Sun Planet Interactions Digital Environment on Request) is a unique infrastructure that gives contextual information including predictions and alerts for science data analysis and payload/spacecraft operations. SPIDER provides European planetary scientists, space agencies and industries access to state of the art services to model planetary environments and solar wind interactions through the deployment of a dedicated run-on-request infrastructure and associated databases.

The runs are archived and shared to the scientific community online and through VESPA. SPIDER builds on the Europlanet 2020 RI Planetary Space Weather Services, which has attracted 15,000 users from the wider international community to date and includes 12 tools for tracking planetary or solar events through the Solar System to assist researchers and industry planning for space missions. The tools cover prediction, detection, modelling and an alerts service.

The 1st Europlanet Research Infrastructure Meeting (ERIM), co-hosted with the 5th EPEC Annual Week 2023 (the training school for the Europlanet Early Career Network), took place from 19-23 June 2023 in Bratislava, Slovakia, and online. https://www.europlanet-society.org/erim2023/

ERIM 2023 was supported with funding from the Europlanet 2024 Research Infrastructure (RI) project. Europlanet 2024 RI has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 871149.
