Strategic Partnerships – NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative

Strategic Partnershipswp_admin2025-01-23T09:10:39-05:00

The NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative (NESEC) is a partnership among four organizations: The Institute for Global Environmental Strategies and the Earth Sciences Divisions at three NASA Centers: Goddard Space Flight Center, Langley Research Center, and Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

NESEC’s successes are made possible through strategic partnerships and collaborations with a wide range of organizations reaching broad audiences.
