IRENA is seeking renewable energy enthusiasts willing to help promote
worldwide renewable opportunities. On the occasion of the upcoming release
of the Global Atlas v 2.0, IRENA is looking for select individuals to join
the Global Atlas Virtual Advisory Network.

The Participants will have the unique opportunity to be the first public
users of the new Global Atlas, to comment and to improve the user
experience. The Advisory Network will be invited to online discussions with
IRENA, and to interact within the online IRENA Community. The deadline for
registration is 15 November 2014.

portal (www.irena.org/globatlas) will be replaced by an interactive world
map, which automatically displays all data available for the user’s
location. The new release will include:

maps;

detailed literature references and descriptions;
