GLOBE International Advisory Committee (GIAC)
The GIAC is an advisory body organized exclusively for the GLOBE Program. Formed in 2006, the purpose of this advisory body is to provide GLOBE Regional Consortia a formal mechanism for community input in the overall implementation, enhancement, and sustainability of the GLOBE Program. The GIAC has been established for advisory purposes and does not hold binding authority or fiduciary responsibility for activities of the GLOBE Program. The GIAC provides advice to the management of GLOBE that could assist the GLOBE Program Office (GPO) in making progress toward our goals including student-teacher-scientist partnerships, regionalization and issues surrounding programmatic sustainability around the world.
