Those happy faces tell the story of the great BGE hackathon that took place in Leiden last week! Data generation, processing, integration, curation #BOLD ... we went the whole nine yards! Thanks to all participants, specially those who came all the way from University of Guelph! European Research Executive Agency

On the way to the CETAF ISTC meeting in Prague. Special topics will be 'type specimens and the TETTRIs Taxonomic Resolution Engine' and 'collaboration of citizen science platforms'. Looking forward to interesting discussions and meeting nice colleagues!

Why don't using this weekend to open up a new opportunity for your scientific career?
The CETAF E-SCoRe Award pushes it a little with a 1.000 € + 1.500 € prize for the best paper from an early career researcher.

The Digitisation team went to the NatSCA conference last week at Oxford University Museum of Natural History.

First up, Helen Hardy gave a talk on #DiSSCoUK Unlocking the potential of the UK Natural Science Collections through digitisation

Last week, six of Germany's largest #naturalhistory collections joined forces to create DiSSCo's #German National Node: DiSSCo-D. It is a historic moment for DiSSCo but also for the future of German natural collections. Glückwunsch!

The transitional phase of DiSSCo is short but quite hectic, so we've created a bunch of posts highlighting our core concepts, DiSSCo services, standards, legal status, etc. Take a look at n.1: #digitalspecimen the cornerstone of DiSSCo European Research Executive Agency 👉 dissco.eu/digital-specim…

None other than Science Magazine tells of the great achievement of DiSSCo UK and highlights the truly global relevance of our efforts at DiSSCo to drive mass-scale digitisation of our natural collections and make them available for all. #biodiversity
