The 3rd meeting of the Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) focused on promoting sustainable soil management, harmonization of testing methods, and addressing current limitations in soil data availability. Key achievements include the establishment of standardized operating procedures, the execution of proficiency testing programs, and the development of a comprehensive work plan for future activities. The meeting emphasized the need for improved laboratory practices and certification to enhance data comparability across countries.
![3rd Meeting of the Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN)
GLOSOLAN’s objectives…
• To strengthen the performance of laboratories
through use of standardized methods and protocols
• To harmonize soil analysis methods so that soil
information would be comparable and interpretable
across laboratories, countries and regions
• [ASPIRATION] To provide a certification for technical
competencies in laboratory analysis.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/item1introductiontoglosolan1-191119100138/85/Item-1-Introduction-to-GLOSOLAN-17-320.jpg)

- 6. 3rd Meeting of the Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) Why GLOSOLAN? Currently there are several limitations to global assessment: (i) some data simply do not exist for all places on Earth (ii) while specific data may be widely available, it is often collected and reported using different methods, diverse standards, and/or using incompatible scales.

Editor's Notes
- #8: We need to make sure that if we send a same soil sample to different laboratories we get the same results
- #9: And we need to make sure that this result is actually right
- #10: With this in mind, we cannot assume that access to technology is the key to get good data.
- #11: Still, we cannot assume that access to technology is the key to get good data. Training of the staff, maintenance of equipment, quality control
- #12: There are other things that are just as important…staff qualification and regular training…maintenance of laboratory equipment and facilities
- #13: There are other things that are just as important…staff qualification and regular training…maintenance of laboratory equipment and facilities
- #14: Still, we cannot assume that access to technology is the key to get good data. Training of the staff, maintenance of equipment, quality control
- #15: FROM THE MOMENT THE SAMPLE REACH THE LABORATORY TO THE MOMENT THE DATA IS RECORDED
- #16: Still, we cannot assume that access to technology is the key to get good data. Training of the staff, maintenance of equipment, quality control
