In November 2022, LifeWatch ERIC invited coordinators of national biodiversity information networks linked to GBIF, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, to its ICT-Core office in Seville, to discuss how they could work together to accelerate the development and use of data technology networks and services. The meeting brought together 30 experts and coordinators from 15 countries in Latin America, the Caribbean and Ibero-America. In this video, we hear from Joe Miller, GBIF Executive Secretary, who explains how the work of GBIF benefits both researcher organisations and policymakers alike. For further information, please visit this page.
