From 25 to 27 June 2025, BioData.pt was represented at the course “Publicação de dados de biodiversidade através do GBIF – 2025”, hosted by GBIF Portugal at the Instituto Superior de Agronomia (ISA), Lisbon. Our Data Steward, Miguel Cisneiros, joined this training initiative, which focused on publishing biodiversity data through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) platform.
GBIF is a major international infrastructure that ensures open access to biodiversity data worldwide. In Portugal, GBIF Portugal plays a central role in mobilising and making biodiversity data openly accessible for research and society.
This participation is particularly relevant for BioData.pt and the GLIM-BioData RDM Centre, as it strengthens expertise in FAIR data management and enhances the integration of biodiversity data within national and European infrastructures. Building these skills directly supports GLIM’s mission to promote high-quality, reusable research data across biodiversity, life and health sciences.
