A Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) between LifeWatch and GBIF has been signed.
This MoC provides the basis for both projects to collaborate together to develop and share critical biodiversity informatics infrastructure and information, in order to further their respective mandates. The complementarities and commonalities of both initiatives match so nicely that it is a unique opportunity for nodes to work better on making biodiversity data accessible and used for the benefit of our societies.
