The 2019 open digital science week on biological and geological diversity, biodiversity_next, is calling for symposia, workshops & events. 

ICEDIG promotes innovation and consolidation in digitisation of Natural History Collections by making its project results openly available for all interested readers. We are fully committed to open access sharing of science results

On Tuesday 11 September ESFRI officially introduced DiSSCo on the 2018 European roadmap as a priority Research Infrastructure during the Launch Ceremony at the Aula der Wissenschaften in Vienna. This is a huge milestone for European natural science Collections as the ESFRI Roadmap identifies new Research Infrastructures (RI) of pan-European interest corresponding to the long term needs of the European research communities.

The second of seven Roundtable meetings hosted within the ICEDIG project was held on Saturday, 22 September 2018 and was part of the Joint Annual Meeting of the Society for Preservation of Natural History Collections and the Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) organization. This Round Table meeting entitled “Analogue 2 digital: faster better cheaper” gathered attendees from museums, herbaria, universities and other organizations concerned with biodiversity research, data management and monitoring.

The 2nd Global Biodiversity Informatics Conference (GBIC2), held from 24-27 July in Copenhagen, Denmark, assembled a broad group of stakeholders, several ICEDIG representatives among them, in a follow up conference to the first GBIC held in the same city five years ago.
