GBIF & IPBES formalize collaboration
by Kyle Copas 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Dear BID colleagues, Representatives of GBIF—the Global Biodiversity Information Facility—and IPBES—the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services—yesterday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the margins of IPBES6 in Medellín, Colombia. The MOU formalizes ongoing cooperation between GBIF and IPBES and identifies specific areas for collaboration that include: * Helping IPBES to identify and access biodiversity datasets relevant to IPBES assessments and indicators * Using knowledge gaps identified through IPBES assessments to help prioritize mobilization of new data through GBIF’s network of nodes and data publishers * Coordinating GBIF’s capacity building activities to support data mobilization and access relevant to IPBES * Encouraging collaboration between GBIF’s national nodes and IPBES national focal points Learn more and watch IPBES' video of the signing ceremony here: https://www.gbif.org/news/2ggIFqrxre4im4oSMeMmA2 Best regards, Kyle ===== Kyle Copas Communications Manager +45 35 32 14 75 | mobile +45 28 75 14 75 | Skype kylecopas GBIF Secretariat Universitetsparken 15 2100 Copenhagen Ø Denmark http://www.gbif.org<http://www.gbif.org/>

Dear BID colleagues, We’d like to invite you to the next GBIF network webinar, which we plan to host on Thursday, 5 April. The series has been running since last year, but we feel we’re ready now to expand our audience to other groups in our broader community. Learn more about the series here: https://www.gbif.org/webinars We’ll share details on the agenda and webinar link in a later email, and we’ll also add such information to our event page: https://www.gbif.org/event/2PNaFZ7EkogGmqssukMc6i Note that we are likely to switch to Zoom Video rather than Adobe Connect, the platform we’ve used in previous sessions. You may wish to download and test the software in advance from here: https://www.zoom.us/test All best, Kyle ===== Kyle Copas +45 35 32 14 75 | mobile +45 28 75 14 75 | Skype kylecopas GBIF Secretariat Universitetsparken 15 2100 Copenhagen Ø Denmark http://www.gbif.org<http://www.gbif.org/>
