Improving European participation in GBIF: The participants' point of view Workshop
Second ENBI Forums Workshop (Palma de Mallorca, 10 - 12 May 2005).
This workshop is based on the experience and conclusions of the past ENBI events: "Workshop on the continuity and sustainability of biodiversity databases and network organisations" (Chania, January 1 7 - 18, 2005) and the 3rd ENBI electronic conference: "Improving European participation in GBIF" (February 14 - 28, 2005), with the respective topics of Continuity of ENBI and other European initiatives in biodiversity information and scientific community.
In these events the aspect of "Improving European contribution to GBIF" was focused on the idea of setting up a European GBIF node. This time we aim to bring the country GBIF nodes, and the would-be-nodes together; to learn from success stories and to workout solutions for the standing problems.
The workshop is envisaged as an opportunity to bring together stakeholders of the GBIF initiative from several areas: GBIF nodes, EU projects, GBIF secretariat, European organisms, etc to: establish links, learn from each other, and get a better understanding of the implications of participating in GBIF (at global, European and country level), and, in the end, to contribute to a better European participation to GBIF.
