N1 - Funding Information:
With the support of JSPS, one of the capacity building activities we have at ICSWSE is through trainings. We invite our MAGDAS hosts for training at ICSWSE. We have conducted four trainings so far. Our trainees were from the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia Vietnam, Peru, Ivory Coast, Mozambique, Nigeria and Egypt. We teach our trainees how to install and maintain our magnetometers in their respective countries. We also teach them how to monitor how to use a data for their research. At the end of the MAGDAS training, we awarded each of the trainees a certificate of completion. For more information, access the Research Note, Space Research Today, Volume 188, December 2013, Pages 18-20, ISSN 1752-9298, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.srt.2013. 11.007. (http://www.sciencedirect.- com/science/article/pii/S1752929813000601) We also organized international MAGDAS School with collaboration of UN/OOSA, ISWI, COSPAR, and SCOSTEP. The schools were held at Egypt (2009), Nigeria (2011), Indonesia (2012), Cote d’Ivoire (2013), Peru, Malaysia, Indonesia (2014), Japan (Fukuoka: 2015) and Nigeria, Russia, Peru, Malaysia (2016).

N2 - For study of coupling processes in the Solar-Terrestrial System, International Center for Space Weather Science and Education (ICSWSE), Kyushu University has developed a real time magnetic data acquisition system (the MAGDAS project) around the world. The number of observational sites is increasing every year with the collaboration of host countries. Now at this time, the MAGDAS Project has installed 78 real time magnetometers-so it is the largest magnetometer array in the world. The history of global observation at Kyushu University is over 30 years and number of developed observational sites is over 140. Especially, Collaboration between IKIR is extended back to 1990's. Now a time, we are operating Flux-gate magnetometer and FM-CW Radar. It is one of most important collaboration for space weather monitoring. By using MAGDAS data, ICSWSE produces many types of space weather index, such as EE-index (for monitoring long tern and shot term variation of equatorial electrojet), Pc5 index (for monitoring solar-wind velocity and high energy electron flux), Sq-index (for monitoring global change of ionospheric low and middle latitudinal current system), and Pc3 index (for monitoring of plasma density variation at low latitudes). In this report, we will introduce recent development of MAGDAS/ICSWSE Indexes project and topics for new open policy for MAGDAS data will be also discussed.
