Research Infrastructures

BioDT has four leading biodiversity research infrastructures (GBIF, eLTER, DiSSCo and LifeWatch ERIC) involved in the co-creation of the Biodiversity Digital Twin (BioDT) prototypes. These Research Infrastructures are strengthening the existing operational services and infrastructures as well as creating new opportunities for novel uses of their resources.
