This four-day training course for the Balkan region is organized by the secretariat of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) together with GBIF Node staff from Belgium, France, Norway and Poland. Participants will learn how to plan and implement biodiversity data mobilization efforts effectively and according to GBIF standards. The workshop will have a strong focus on the technical aspects of data mobilization — in particular everything related to the lifecycle: planning, capture, quality and publishing in order to increase the amount, richness and quality of the data published through the GBIF network and made available for use in scientific research and policymaking. The social aspects of the process will also be considered.
Venue: Podgorica, Montenegro 23-26 April 2018.
