Partnership Applications
Back to Partnership -- The following applications have been posted for review by the Partnership Committee
September 2025
University of Arizona School of Informatics - Type II
The UA College of Information Science is the home of multiple researchers involved in ESIP and/or the broader Earth and environmental science community. The College administers five undergraduate degree and four graduate degree programs as well as certificates and minors and specializes in various fields of information science that are highly relevant to the Earth science community, including artificial intelligence, information security and management, library science, data science and visualization, immersive technologies, extended and virtual reality, among others.
Open Environmental Data Project - Type III
Open Environmental Data Project (OEDP) leverages the spirit of collaboration to create multi-sector strategies that strengthen the role of data in environmental and climate governance. Through pilots, workshops, research, and narrative building, OEDP works to [re]build trust between science, civil society, government, and technologists. They articulate improved environmental governance processes and envision generative environmental futures—ultimately leading to the goal of healthier communities, robust climate action and natural systems, and collective action paired with matching policy levers.
Woods Hole Institute - Type III
The Woods Hole Institute functions as a catalyst for convergence, bringing multiple disciplines together in a synthesis. The Institute also helps surface areas of earth science and data science ripe for complexity research and civic science related to sustainability, climate and ocean science, and the intersection of environmental and human health. As an independent non-profit organization the Institute functions as a "third space" to bring essential institutions into meaningful dialog to further their collective interests, amplify their research capacity, and raise their profile among funders and the general public.
Ocean Networks Canada - Type II
Ocean Networks Canada (ONC), an initiative of the University of Victoria, operates world-leading ocean observatories that collect real-time and long-term oceanographic data to advance scientific knowledge, and support policy and regulatory decisions. ONC plays a critical role in making high-quality Earth and ocean science data openly accessible to researchers, educators, industry, Indigenous communities, and decision-makers in Canada and internationally.
