Abstract. We will introduce MAGDAS pro ject of Space Environment Research Center (SERC), Kyushu University (KU) for space weather. The new MAGDAS data can be used to monitor global electromagnetic and plasma en- vironment change in geospace, and then to bring about a better understanding of the complex and compound Sun-Earth system. The SERC also conducts daily space weather "now casting", to train and educate KU students, and to globally disseminate space weather information to the scientific community and the general public.

Keywords: MAGDAS - space weather - global ionospheric current - plasma mass density - ionospheric electric field - local education - global outreach - data service
