Observations from Svalbard, the Arctic archipelago between 10 and 35 deg east and 74 and 81 deg north are reported. The geomagnetic latitude spans from approx. 71 and 77 deg north. The high geographic latitude at a geomagnetic latitude of 75 deg, makes Svalbard an ideal place for studies of dayside aurora and processes in the magnetospheric boundary regions. Conjugacy to stations in Antarctica makes Svalbard even more attractive. The observatories at Ny-Alesund and Longyearbyen are the master stations in a network which also includes field stations at Hopen, Hornsund, Bjornoya and Jan Mayen. The core instruments are photometers, optical imagers, magnetometers and riometers. Instruments such as spectrometers and ULF/ELF/VLF receivers add to the data sets. The observations form the basis for various studies of solar wind/magnetosphere coupling, electrodynamics, transient events and other magnetospheric and boundary layer phenomena. International cooperation is essential in the program.
