The types of activities involve facilitating alliancesamong the members and organizations, sponsoring and organizing conferences and workshops,driving publications in terms of edited books and technical papers, developing a bibliographicrepository system, and collaborating through international projects. The last, but mostimportant, item is to drive a standardization effort for a remote laboratory discipline that willhave a long lasting impact for the coming years.References:[1] Horizon Report 2016 Higher Education Edition, NMC, nmc.org, ISBN 978-0-9968527-5-3[2] GOLC web site, http://www.online
