International Cooperation “A substantial step forward in science and education cooperation between the three countries, the “Little” Global Ring Network for Advanced Applications Development (Little GLORIAD) represents a first step towards a much larger initiative the three countries are planning.”
11-nations linked together “GLORIAD exists today due to the shared commitment to promote increased engagement and cooperation between countries, beginning with their scientists, educators and young people.”
