The inner magnetosphere is highly variable because dynamical variations of incoming energy from the solar wind, magnetospheric tail, and the ionosphere. Cross-regional, cross-scale, and cross-energy couplings are the key processes for understanding this dynamical system. Coordinated observations by multi-satellites and ground-based observations are very essential to revealing these processes. In the 24th and 25th solar cycles, a number of satellites such as Van Allen Probes, MMS, THEMIS, DSX and Arase; coordinated ground-based observations (THEMIS-GBO, SuperDARN, EISCAT, magnetometers, riometer, etc); and numerical simulations (global kinetic model, MHD model, micro PIC, hybrid simulations) have successfully investigated the inner magnetosphere system. We invite papers on recent results of the inner magnetosphere and/or its coupling with the other regions including the ionosphere and the outer magnetosphere. Presentations on new projects such as sounding rocket experiments and data assimilation/machine learning are also welcome.
