The EUBrazilOpenBio project extends an
invitation to participate in The Virtual Herbarium of Plants and Fungi of
Brazil & EUBrazilOpenBio Joint Workshop to be held in Park Hotel, Rua dos
Navegantes, 9, Recife, Brazil (tbc).
The workshop will provide an excellent
opportunity for botanists, biodiversity researchers and informatics experts to
discuss the needs and challenges they are facing in their researches. The
applications implemented by the Virtual Herbarium of Plants and Fungi will
serve as an example as to how technology is used in botanical studies in
Brazil. At the same time, EUBrazilOpenBio will present the services that its
e-Infrastructure is implementing for the wider biodiversity community, thanks
to the integration of different state-of-the-art technologies and resources
developed in Europe and Brazil. The EUBrazilOpenBio Use Cases on Niche
Modelling and cross mapping of Regional and Global Taxonomies will also be
presented.
The workshop will also address the
economic, social and political implications of Computer Science serving
biodiversity in regions such as Europe and Brazil, with special focus on data
e-Infrastructures running on grid and cloud computing technologies and on
sharing data resources across regions. New areas of cooperation between EU and
Brazil will be identified and common socio-economic challenges on biodiversity
will be addressed. The outcomes of the workshop will highlight key challenges
to be addressed in future EU-Brazil joint funding programmes.
