GLOBE is excited to host the GLOBE International Virtual Science Symposium (IVSS)! The IVSS is a way for primary through undergraduate students from all GLOBE countries to showcase their research and hard work. With GLOBE, students learn the practices of science through hands-on investigations in their own communities, which sparks their curiosity and interest in science. This often leads to inquiries that help solve real-world problems and further understanding of the global environment.
We believe that we can inspire the next gen of scientists and innovators.
We can help build a stronger foundation for scientific innovation.
