In this project, the well-established Belgian node aims to transfer the knowledge and experience to the newly established Croatian node through a series of hands-on workshops discussing all relevant available information from the GBIF secretariat, including:
- strategy (Strategic Framework, Implementation Plan and Work Programmes),
- governance (the GBIF structure, Governing board, Nodes and network),
- technical topics (standards, data cleaning, data publishing, data papers, Github repository),
- other opportunities for nodes (CESP, ECA nodes, Ambassador program, mentor program, GBIF community forum)
The aim of the workshops will be to explore how those elements can be best implemented in the work of Croatian GBIF node.
Through cofunding the project team will also invite scientists from other Balkan countries active in another GBIF-related project to take part in the workshops.
