Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) is a nonprofit organization that provides a neutral space for exciting cross-domain collaborations. Created by NASA in 1998, ESIP was formed in response to a National Research Council recommendation calling for the involvement of community stakeholders in the development of NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) as a critical element of the U.S. Global Change Research Program. They are an open-networked community that brings together science, data, and information technology practitioners. The ESIP community includes 170+ Partner organizations and individual volunteers who come together to share, expand, and innovate across environmental science disciplines. ESIP has been a WDS partner member since April 2016.
WDS-IPO and WDS-ITO will attend the July ESIP Meeting in Asheville, North Carolina, United States. If you are attending, stop by and say hello! This will be a great event to build connections.
