Unique nonprofit collaborative that aggregates and disseminates earth science research selects MEI Global to facilitate deals for AI partnerships and more
MCLEAN, Va., Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GeoScienceWorld (GSW), an essential resource for and partner to the earth and planetary science community, announced today its partnership with content licensing experts MEI Global, LLC (MEIG). MEIG will identify, negotiate, and manage strategic third-party distribution relationships, with a focus on emerging opportunities in artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs). The initiative will make GSW's highly respected corpus of peer-reviewed geoscience research available for innovative licensing agreements with AI vendors and will support its participating membership societies to further advance scientific research.
"Since our founding in 2004, our mission has been to enable geoscience societies to better serve their disciplines and communities through collaboration," says Angie Anderson, Director of Society Services and Partnerships at GSW. "Part of how we achieve that is by broadening the reach of our member societies' high quality, trusted, peer-reviewed publications. Leveraging MEIG's deep knowledge of the content licensing landscape, particularly for AI applications and LLMs, is critical for us in forging new partnerships that advance our member societies' interests, support geoscience researchers, and advance scientific discovery adhering to ethics and transparency and without entailing undue risks."
Chris Broekhoff, MEIG's president, sees an expanded focus on third party licensing deals as a logical next step in GSW's evolution. "Our dealmaker team has always focused on finding new ways to leverage our client's content and to reach new users who may need it, and the rapid adoption of AI technologies in the content licensing space has introduced brand new opportunities. Particularly for publishers in the scientific arena like GSW, LLMs and AI in general represent both opportunity and risk," Broekhoff says. "We've worked closely with content vendors to develop deal terms that simultaneously encourage broad and ground-breaking use of content, including those incorporating facets of AI, while still protecting publisher interests. We're excited to work with the GSW team on licensing opportunities that make sense for their needs."
