Road map 2025 and thank you

Hello GRSciColl Friends, Together we have done a lot of work in 2024! Thanks to the institutional editors, the national editors, the updates coming from Index Herbariorum, and everyone making suggestions, more than 1600 entries were added this year. Thank you so much! And thanks to our community of translators, the GRSciColl website became available in Spanish this year! Thank you also for your feedback and contribution to more complex topics, I can see that the question of DOI for collection is still actively being discussed<https://discourse.gbif.org/t/preferred-identifiers-for-grscicoll-entries-sh…>. There are 60 national editors responsible for 121 countries. Most of them are already registered as GBIF volunteers which allows us to make their role more visible and award them badges for their work. For those of you who aren’t registered as GBIF volunteers yet, I will reach out to you in the next year (you are also very welcome to contact me). Our new road map for 2025 is now online (and translated to Spanish): https://scientific-collections.gbif.org/road-map You can also watch the recording for our community call last week<https://www.gbif.org/event/6xJHjutIyKzsmyIbKkJKla/global-registry-of-scient…> in which we discuss the road map. I am looking forward to seeing what we can do next year! I wish you all a festive end of the year. Thank you again 😊 Marie -- Marie Grosjean (mgrosjean(a)gbif.org<mailto:mgrosjean@gbif.org>) Data Administrator GBIF Secretariat Universitetsparken 15 DK-2100 Copenhagen, DENMARK URL: http://www.gbif.org<http://www.gbif.org/>
