Submit a bid to host the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative by March 1st 2025
The Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative (GSBI) is an independent scientific organization formed in 2011 with the mission of creating a global collaboration of soil biodiversity scientists. The goals of the GSBI are to inform the public on the importance of soil biodiversity for a healthy planet, promote soil biodiversity research towards environmental policy, and create a platform for the current and future sustainability of soils. Currently, the GSBI has ~6,000 subscribed members from 136 countries, ranging from students, academics, to government employees, educators, land managers, the public and more. For the past 13 years, Colorado State University (CSU) has hosted and supported the GSBI. The GSBI leadership is tremendously grateful for the support CSU has provided, which has allowed the GSBI to be an independent initiative. As part of GSBI’s long-term plans, the GSBI will be leaving CSU in April 2026 with the goal of rotating the host institution or organization every 5 years. As such, the GSBI is looking for a new home institution/organization and secretariat. The GSBI leadership invites individuals, institutions, organizations to submit a bid to house the GSBI.
