The purpose of this planning workshop is to establish a Geoscience Education and Public Outreach Network (GEPON), to articulate the characteristics, strategies, and management models for a successful network model, and to formalize recommendations to the NSF and the geoscience community for network implementation, support and sustainability. The workshop will be co-hosted by IRIS and UNAVCO. Expected workshop outcomes include: 1) An Education and Punlic Outreach (EPO) network model that leverages existing discipline-specific networks, 2) A management infrastructure to realize a successful GEPON, and 3) Identification of representatives to move the GEPON initiative forward. The GEPON network and this workshop were formal recommendations stemming from the NSF-funded geoscience outreach workshop held in May 2005. The workshop was attended by twenty-six scientists and educators actively engaged in geoscience education and outreach activities. Attendees recommended the creation of a network as an important strategy to support effective EPO and engagement of the public with the enterprise of science. They also recommended a subsequent meeting to articulate the characteristics, strategies, and management models for a successful network effort. The workshop will advance EPO efforts in the area of Earth systems science. Workshop participants will include representatives from disciplines within Earth systems education and research. This workshop and, ultimately, the establishment of GEPON, represent significant opportunities for these scientists, educators, and outreach professionals to collaborate and engage the public in understanding the criticality of scientific research and the benefits derived from it.

这次规划讲习班的目的是建立地球科学教育和公共推广网络(GEPON)，阐明成功的网络模式的特点、战略和管理模式，并正式向国家科学基金会和地球科学界提出关于网络实施、支持和可持续性的建议。该讲习班将由IRIS和联安部队共同主办。预期的讲习班成果包括：1)利用现有学科特定网络的教育和宣传推广(EPO)网络模式；2)实现成功的全球无源光网络的管理基础设施；以及3)确定代表以推动全球无源光网络倡议的发展。GEPON网络和这次研讨会是国家科学基金会资助的2005年5月举行的地球科学外联研讨会提出的正式建议。参加讲习班的有26名积极参与地球科学教育和外联活动的科学家和教育工作者。与会者建议建立一个网络，作为支持有效的欧洲专利局和公众参与科学事业的一项重要战略。他们还建议召开后续会议，阐明成功网络工作的特征、战略和管理模式。讲习班将推动欧洲专利局在地球系统科学领域的努力。讲习班的参加者将包括来自地球系统、教育和研究领域的代表。这次讲习班以及最终建立的全球环境展望网络，为这些科学家、教育工作者和外展专业人员提供了重要的机会，使他们能够合作，并使公众了解科学研究的重要性和从中获得的好处。
