This internal meeting addresses the question on how to move forward the goals, activities and governance of the International Soil Modeling Consortium (ISMC). It will bring together the ISMC Executive Board members: Science Panel Chairs, Executive Board at Large, and ISMC Chairs. The core of the agenda is the formulation of an inclusive, sustainable and flexible formal framework for the next decade of ISMC. ISMC was established in 2016 with the aim of integrating and advancing soil systems modeling, data collection, and observational capabilities. ISMC is a community-based effort that builds on voluntary contributions and scientists, stakeholders and institutions can sign up freely (https://soil-modeling.org/). The mission is supported and the newsletter reaches so far more than 500 soil scientists over six continents.

Organizer(s): Roland Baatz, Harry Vereecken, Michael Young
