From May 27–29, 2025, BioDT partners Senckenberg – Society for Nature Research (SGN), GBIF, and the Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo will host the AgroClim / EUMETSAT Demonstration Workshop and Stakeholder Meeting in Rabat, Morocco, in collaboration with the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA). This international workshop is designed to showcase the Crop Wild Relatives (CWR) use case developed within the BioDT project and its integration into the Destination Earth (DestinE) initiative. The programme includes live demonstrations of how to access climate data via EUMETSAT and DestinE, as well as a hands-on session allowing participants to explore the CWR digital twin resources in action.

Join us for the final BioDT webinar on 14 May 2025, where we explore the essential role of Research Infrastructures (RIs) in powering biodiversity Digital Twins. This session brings together key partners from GBIF, eLTER, DiSSCo, and LifeWatch ERIC, who share what they achieve through their collaboration with BioDT. They explain how their data, expertise, and technologies contribute to the development of the BioDT prototype Digital Twins – and how the project supports their own missions.
Speakers focus on:
How each RI supports the BioDT project;
What they gain or learn from the cooperation;
Future opportunities and remaining challenges.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how collaboration between research infrastructures and digital innovation strengthens our response to biodiversity challenges!

The ACT NOW Mayors’ Conference 2025 (5-6 May 2025, Vienna, Austria) will explore policies, processes and practices that make the green transition democratic, just and fruitful. Which formats lead to a tangible result and create real impact? How can we reach silent groups who are not likely to participate in such processes? How can we create broad alliances among administrations, politics, civil society and businesses? This transformation has to address both ecological and social objectives.
As part of the BioDT project result dissemination, Anja Radonjic, from Trust-IT Services, attends this conference and presents the latest policy recommendations, found in the BioDT policy brief. Read more
GERI is an integrated network of site-based research infrastructures dedicated to better understand the function and change of indicator ecosystems across global biomes. The organisation aims to support excellent science that can also inform political and managerial decision-making addressing grand societal challenges.
Take part in the survey by 31 May, have your say and help GERI find better ways to better train and prepare the next generation of research scientists!
