NSF Unidata Committee Nominations Open

Joint Unidata committee, 2019

NSF Unidata is governed by its community. Our Strategic Advisory and Users committees facilitate consensus-building for future directions of the NSF Unidata Program and establish standards of involvement for the community. Direct involvement in the Program by the academic community helps NSF Unidata stay on top of trends in Earth Systems Science education and research; for example, recent initiatives on Python and cloud-based computing have benefited tremendously from committee advice and involvement.

We are looking for several creative people at U.S. universities and colleges who are using NSF Unidata products and services — or who are familiar with NSF Unidata — to help guide the program in addressing the needs of our growing community. Nominate someone (even yourself) to join NSF Unidata's governing committees today!
