The last edition of our community meeting took place on 30 March.

We started the meeting with Christian de Guttry, Robert Waterhouse (Swiss Bioinformatics Institute), and Nick Juty (University of Manchester), who walked us through BioDiv-FC, a project addressing the lack of biodiversity-specific requirements in many FAIR assessment tools. You can find their presentation here.

Then, Andriy Novikov (State Museum of Natural History of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine) and Oleksander Zinenko (Karazin Kharkiv National University) discussed the project “High-mountain grasslands transformation in the Ukrainian Carpathians” and its use of DNA barcoding. Andriy’s presentation is available here; Oleksander’s here.

The last presentation was by Kristy Deiner (SimplexDNA/SciArt), about SciArt. SciArt is an initiative exploring the interface between science and art, involving eDNA activities and citizen scientists, among many others.

Our Community Meetings are free for all iBOL Europe members to join. You can join our community here – that’s also free!
