Project Name
BioDATA Advanced (BioDATA2.0)
Project Description
BioDATA Advanced - is an international project for developing skills in biodiversity data management and data publishing, and is a continuation of the initial BioDATA project (2018-2022). Undergraduate and postgraduate students from Russia, Norway, and South Africa will have an opportunity to take part in the intensive courses to gain practical skills working with international research data infrastructures such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), international data standards (Darwin Core), software on data improvement, data use (with an emphasis on data generated from DNA-based methods), and preparation of data papers. In addition, students will have the opportunity to learn the most modern molecular methods for monitoring biodiversity. The skills taught within BioDATA Advanced are important for carrying out the everyday tasks of a modern biologist but are mostly not formally taught in higher education. The project is coordinated by the University of Oslo (Norway) and supported by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). The project is funded by the Norwegian Agency for International Cooperation and Quality Enhancement in Higher Education (DIKU).
