PHIS (Phenotyping Hybrid Information System) is an open-source platform that transforms how plant phenotyping data is integrated and shared. In this talk, Isabelle Alic (INRAE) will explore how PHIS utilises EGI Cloud’s robust capabilities to provide a flexible, high-performance environment for managing complex phenotyping workflows.

Biodiversity Information for Development (BID) is a multi-year programme funded by the European Union and led by GBIF – the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, with the aim of enhancing capacity for effective mobilisation and use of biodiversity data in research and policy in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Pacific islands.
The programme has opened calls for concept notes from the Pacific and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) regions.
Two types of grants are available:
1. Institutional-level biodiversity data mobilization grants: Funding up to €30,000
2. Multi-institutional biodiversity data mobilization grants: Funding up to €60,000
Concept notes are required to be submitted in English through the GBIF Grants Portal by 27 May 2025 23:59 CEST (UTC+2).
The final event of the BioDT Project, in collaboration with Destination Earth (DestinE), will take place on 3 April 2025 at Spazio Europa in Rome and online. This hybrid event will highlight BioDT’s key results, demonstrating its role in the European Commission’s Digital Twin strategy and its integration with the DestinE ecosystem. It will also serve as a platform for discussions on sustainability, interoperability, and the future of BioDT within European research infrastructures and data spaces. Attendees will engage in strategic discussions, scientific presentations, panel debates on infrastructure and data sustainability, and live demonstrations of prototype Digital Twins (pDTs) developed during the project.
