The Benelux Biodiversity Informatics community and partners, including Elixir Belgium, are pleased to invite you to the Empowering Biodiversity Research III conference, taking place on 25 and 26 March 2024 in Naturalis, Leiden, the Netherlands. You will be able to embark on a journey into the world of biodiversity data standards and tools and will learn about the latest developments in the world of Biodiversity Informatics, both internationally and locally.

The primary focus will be on effectively utilizing biodiversity data to bridge the gap with policy. While you may already be acquainted with well-known entities such as GBIF, ELIXIR, Lifewatch, and DiSSCo, you will also have the possibility to discover MAMBO, ARISE, and Biodiversity Genomics Europe. The comprehensive offering includes a carefully curated selection of keynotes, enlightening information sessions, impactful poster presentations, and, of course, a state-of-the-art Biodiversity Informatics market and reception. We are looking forward to seeing you there!
