Catalogue of Life mini-symposium
The mini-symposium will take place on Thursday April 2nd, 9h-12h45 at the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), Oostende.
The Catalogue of Life (CoL) aims to give an overview of all species ever described worldwide. To accomplish this, the Catalogue of Life relies on the support and advice of its ‘Global Team’, an international group of experts that provide advice and take decisions related to the scientific policy of the Catalogue. This year, the Global Team is meeting in Oostende, which is traditionally followed by a mini-symposium where the different aspects of the Catalogue of Life are presented.
The mini-symposium will not only give an overview of the history of the Catalogue of Life (CoL), it will also focus on its current position. Several users and data providers will talk about their experiences with and contributions to the Catalogue. The second part of the symposium is a panel discussion, focusing on the progress and future vision of the Catalogue of Life from different viewpoints and includes a time-slot for questions and thoughts from the audience.
