GBIF curricula
The GBIF Secretariat, in collaboration with our community of trainers and mentors, develops curricula on biodiversity data mobilization and use. These courses are available online for self-paced use or can be adapted for onsite or virtual workshops.
The GBIF Data Use Club is a programme intended to support the use of GBIF-mediated data globally through seminars featuring skilled data users, online training resources, and building capacity in data literacy skills via free licenses offered in collaboration with DataCamp thorugh the DataCamp Donates programme.

GBIF Digital documentation
GBIF produces digital-first technical documentation on a range of topics relating to biodiversity informatics and open biodiversity data to support the community of practice. Text and other content are maintained in open GBIF GitHub repositories and published into HTML and PDF formats using an open-source publishing toolchain called AsciiDoctor. Support for translations is integrated via CrowdIn, which provides a free non-commercial licence that supports the efforts of GBIF's volunteer translator community.
GBIF participants produce a wealth of resources to support the community of practice. This section will highlight guiding examples and CESP projects that focus on reusable training and documentation.
