Each formal Participant that signs the GBIF Memorandum of Understanding agrees to establish a Participant node, which is
a team designated by a Participant to coordinate a network of people and institutions that produce, manage and use biodiversity data, collectively building an infrastructure for delivering biodiversity information. They are supported by organizational arrangements and informatics solutions, working to improve the availability and usefulness of biodiversity data for research, policy and decision-making.
The resources gathered on this page are aimed primarily at helping establish and maintain nodes that effectively coordinate GBIF-related activities across their network's areas of interest, though others may find them useful in highlighting and understanding the full range and scope of GBIF node activities.
