📢The European Commission-funded BioDT project pushes the boundaries of predictive understanding of #biodiversity dynamics. 👉Explore the #BioDT collection: doi.org/10.3897/rio.co… to find about 11 #DigitalTwins designed to mimic the #environment! #COP29 #COP29Baku

📢REGISTRATION DEADLINE for the 1st Bulgarian #DNA #barcoding symposium: 15 Nov 2024!⌛️ 🆓NO registration fees! 📍 Hosted at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. 🤝Organised by the 🇧🇬Bulgarian International Barcode of Life Consortium (iBOL) node: #BgBOL. #DNAbarcoding #biomonitoring #biodiversity

🌟 DTO-BioFlow is mentioned in the European Marine Board’s Navigating the Future VI report🎉 We are recognized for our role in integrating biodiversity data into the Digital Twin of the Ocean (DTO) to address climate change and biodiversity loss. 🌍

DNA collections are crucial for #NaturalSciences research. Our partners at DiSSCo Flanders have identified the need for 1) best practices on #DNA collection management and 2) guidance on bringing theory into practice.
