This award supports the 2025 annual meeting for the GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) Program, which will occur July 13-17, 2025 in Washington, D.C. This year also marks GLOBE’s 30th anniversary, and the convening will include recognition of milestones through GLOBE’s history as well as opportunities for participants to plan for future opportunities to expand the reach and implementation of Earth Systems data collection and education. The GLOBE Program is managed and supported by NASA, aligning with NASA’s Earth Science Division’s research on the planet’s systems and processes—participants in GLOBE contribute to monitoring these systems and provide valuable ground-based observations. A primary goal of the convening is to allow members of the GLOBE community to learn from each other to enhance GLOBE projects within their local community. Therefore, this year’s agenda will include speakers and sessions on topics such as using GLOBE data to support scientific and community-based research and addressing challenges to data collection. Activities will include alumni and scientist panels, regional spotlights that will highlight activities and stories from across GLOBE’s six regions, exploration of an interactive timeline of GLOBE’s history, and keynote speakers who will recognize GLOBE’s past and future impact. GLOBE promotes science and data literacy by connecting students, educators, scientists, and citizens in a community of practice that enga
