Note: The deadline for nominations for Unidata committee appointments beginning in
the fall of 2019 has been extended until July 7, 2019.
Unidata Users and Strategic Advisory Committees
Unidata is governed by its community. Our governing committees facilitate
consensus-building
for future directions of the Unidata Program and establish standards of involvement
for the community. Direct involvement in the Program by the academic community helps
Unidata stay on top of trends in education and research; for example, recent initiatives
on Python and cloud-based computing have benefitted tremendously from committee advice
and involvement.
The Unidata Program Center is seeking new people to serve on Unidata's Strategic Advisory
and
Users Committees. This is your chance to make a difference on behalf of the Unidata
community. As Sepideh Yalda, the current Chair of the Unidata Strategic Advisory Committee
notes, “Unidata has and continues to serve a critical role in providing data
and services to the earth and related sciences community. The opportunity to serve
as a member on Unidata governance committees provides you with the ability to contribute
and help guide the future developments in data sharing and the associated services
in support of research and education in atmospheric sciences.”
