  • An introduction to mobilising your collection’s biodiversity data

    Monday, November 11, 2019 -
    10:30 to 17:30
    M Shed, Bristol
    This workshop, organised by NatSCA, Bristol Culture and NHM London, will take you through the steps required to digitise and share specimen occurrence data (‘what, where, when, who’) with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). A mixture of talks and exercises will provide achievable solutions, but also help delegates make the case for future investment.

    The workshop is aimed at people working with natural sciences collections who have a background in the subject but no experience of data mobilisation. Its focus is biological collections.
