GLP Nodal offices provide infrastructural, personnel, and scientific input and support in the process of implementing the GLP science plan. Nodal offices have a clear thematic focus and scientific oversight is provided by the SSC of the GLP. Nodal offices are encouraged to initiate activities, networking and research. Their scope is inclusive and global, and they are seen as important resources for GLP. However, central coordinative, organisational and communicative GLP functions remain at the International Project Office (IPO).
