[Nhcoll-l] Calls for Expression of Interest to Participate in DISSCO Advisory Boards

[Thiers, Barbara]

If you are interested in this opportunity, please read the message below from Ana Casino, of CETAF:

Dear all,

In the frame of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between CETAF and the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC) that you chair, I am very excited to announce that DiSSCo has now issued an open call for expressions of interest for the selection of individuals to two crucial advisory boards for the future of the Research Infrastructure DiSSCo (Distributed System of Scientific Collections) built on top of our collections research-based community.

Those Boards are the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) and the Technical Advisory Board (TAB). Their mission is to provide expert consultation services in all areas related to the scientific objectives and the technical sphere of DiSSCo, thus shaping DiSSCo and its portfolio of services based on geological and biological diversity data as well as its implementation to the benefit of the scientific community and the society at large.

We look for motivated, creative people that believe in the value of DiSSCo and share our aims. Therefore, we open the Calls for Expression of Interest to all levels of seniority, domains, and geographical areas, including non-Europeans and representatives from non-scientific societal domains (such as science-policy bodies or the industry.

Please find below the links to the two Calls

Expression of Interest - Scientific Advisory Board<https://dissco.eu/content/scientific-advisory-board-call-expression-interest> (SAB)

Expression of Interest - Technical Advisory Board<https://dissco.eu/content/technical-advisory-board-call-expression-interest> (TAB)

Deadline for applications is 16 September 2019.

We would much appreciate that you distribute widely the above announcement throughout the SPNHC community, your networks and your colleagues, and we look forward to collaborate closely with you in the near future.

Kind regards,
ANA CASINO
