Organisational Nodes
IYA2009 is proud to be involved with a large number of Organisational Nodes. These institutions have a history of successful science communication and education, and are lending their valuable expertise by supporting and implementing activities around the globe. As IYA2009 is such a large endeavour, the support of these Nodes is central to achieving the goals set out for the Year.
Please note that the IYA2009 Secretariat will only consider organisations whose work has an international range for this category.
