The mission of the SETI Institute is to explore, understand and explain the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe. The acronym SETI means Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence.

The SETI Institute is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to scientific research, education and public outreach.

The Institute comprises three centers, the Center for SETI Research, the Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life in the Universe and the Center for Education and Public Outreach. It was founded in 1984.

The Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) will provide decision-support tools to a wide variety of users. It will proactively link together existing and planned observing systems around the world and support the development of new systems where gaps currently exist.

It is being built (in 2012) by the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), on the basis of a 10-Year Implementation Plan running from 2005 to 2015. 

GEOSS seeks to connect the producers of environmental data and decision-support tools with the end users of these products, with the aim of enhancing the relevance of Earth observations to global issues. The result is to be a global public infrastructure that generates comprehensive, near-real-time environmental data, information and analyses for a wide range of users.
