BMD to participate in the TDWG 2026 Conference
From 21 to 25 September, BMD will take part in the TDWG Annual Conference in Oslo, Norway. This year, the theme of the Conference is “Research and Robot-ready Biodiversity Data Standards”, and it will gather researchers, project leaders, and students for discussions on topics ranging from taxonomy and biodiversity infrastructures to community science and knowledge extraction.
As part of TDWG, BMD will co-host a booth with the EU-funded TETTRIX and ANERIS projects. Partners from Pensoft Publishers will also be there to display and distribute project materials, as well as answer any questions visitors might have about BMD and the other projects.
BMD partners will also join the Conference as presenters and session and workshop organisers. Check out the agenda for BMD’s participation below:
