The International Science Council (ISC) and its partners will organize the 9th edition of the Science Summit around the 78th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA78) from 12-29 September 2023. The GLOBE Program will be represented for the second consecutive year, with presentations by GLOBE community members: Siham Salman, Elena Sparrow, and moderated by Michael Jabot and Larisa Schelkin.

During the presentation, panelists will present their topic, tying in the use of GLOBE in their countries and how GLOBE helps meet their country’s SDGs.
