EDIT - European Distributed Institute of Taxonomy -

Systematics will not only be the first meeting of the federation of European systematic societies BioSyst EU, but also the 7th meeting in the biennal series of meetings of the Systematics Association (UK) and the 11th annual meeting of the GfBS (Germany).
This major conference will cover all taxonomic groups and methodological avenues to encourage synergy in the European systematics community at large. Currently, several symposia are being considered, dedicated a.o. to Microbial systematics, Flower morphology, Species circumscription and concepts. Workshops will be dedicated a.o. to Annonaceae, Web-based taxonomy, Bryophyte evolution. During or adjacent to the symposium, training sessions will be given for the EDIT Scratchpads (limited attendance).

This one-day training course is intended to help current and prospective Scratchpad owners develop their site building skills, or to help key people act as a support service for their home institution. You will be given the opportunity to learn best practice and gain a better understanding of what the Scratchpads (http://scratchpads.eu/) can do for you and your research community. Find more information at http://scratchpads.eu/scratchpad-training-courses.

This event is now fully booked.

With the increasing international concern about iodiversity loss and other biodiversity-related issues, there are significant Biodiversity Informatics challenges associated with assisting biodiversity researchers in their work. Particular problems include heterogeneity; the interdisciplinary nature of Biodiversity Informatics; conflicts of expert opinion (e.g. in classification); tracking data provenance; and management of “sensitive data”. In this workshop we shall concentrate on current database- and data-related challenges. This international workshop follows on from a national workshop held in Cardiff, UK, in 2008 entitled “Biodiversity Informatics: challenges in modelling and managing biodiversity knowledge”.
