EMODnet Biology has launched a survey aimed at EU-funded projects working on biodiversity to gather valuable feedback and insights. This information will help the EMODnet Biology consortium plan an online workshop in mid-November. The workshop will provide an overview of EMODnet Biology, the resources available to data providers, and explore how the consortium can support projects in submitting their outputs—particularly data and products for (re)hosting in EMODnet.
