BIOcean5d kick-off

Researchers from 11 European countries meet in Heidelberg (11-13 January) to kickstart a the BIOcean5D, a major interdisciplinary project designed to better understand marine biodiversity and its fate in the Anthropocene. EMBL is coordinating the BIOcean5D project that brings together 30 research partners to holistically explore marine biodiversity at molecular and organismal levels – from viruses to mammals, across space, time, and human scales (5D).  LifeWatch VLIZ colleagues Leen Vandepitte and Lynn Delgat are participating and represent the World Register of Marine Species and EurOBIS/Emodnet Biology.
