    This workshop, organised by NatSCA and NHM London, will take you through the steps required to digitise and share specimen occurrence data (‘what, where, when, who’), and understand some of the community standards used by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). A mixture of talks and exercises will provide achievable solutions and help delegates make the case for future investment. Supplementary online seminars will also be included and given on later dates to deliver more in-depth training and help answer any specific questions.
