Note:
In keeping with its global vision, the Advisory Board of Gaia University is much larger than a conventional University Advisory Board.

The 2007 European Advisory Board meeting will be held from July 26-29 at Lebensgarten Ecovillage , Steyerberg, Lower Saxony, Germany.

Future meetings will likely be in Australia, Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Associates studying for MSc degrees or Graduate Diplomas in 2006 will have the opportunity to meet with members of this remarkable group in Germany. Some have agreed to serve as Specialist Advisers.

Board of External Reviewers: In the Capstone year of MSc and BSc degree programs, Gaia University Associate Outputs are externally reviewed by independent reviewers as a final stage in the IMCA Socrates® Quality Assurance system.

Our External Reviewers are carefully selected people with high academic and professional standing with strong higher educational review experience and who understand the nature of action learning.

This independent, external review procedure, required by our accreditor IMCA, along with an annual, independent whole-system inspection, is an essential element in ensuring the high standards inherent in the IMCA Socrates® Quality Assurance system.
