[Nhcoll-l] TDWG2021 - Call for Proposals Open!

[Deborah Paul]

Greetings SPNHC folks,

RE: TDWG2021 - Call for Symposia Proposals Open!
Theme: *Connecting the world of biodiversity data: standards uniting 
people, processes, and tools
*CALL: 
https://mailchi.mp/fc74352c80a2/tdwg-2021-call-for-organized-sessions-in-the-virtual-conference-1822-october
**See also:**https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2021/

Hoping to see many SPNHC members at the virtual TDWG2021 Conference. 
Please see the Conference Announcement 
<https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2021/> and Call for Symposia 
<https://mailchi.mp/fc74352c80a2/tdwg-2021-call-for-organized-sessions-in-the-virtual-conference-1822-october> 
-- now open. (Call for abstracts for talks will come later). Some of you 
participate regularly in TDWG Working Groups to build standards for our 
international biodiversity data community to share bio, marine, geo (and 
more) collections data -- thank you! Many of you are actively involved 
in capturing data and images from your local collections to publish for 
the world to access. Getting attribution for that work is important, 
both for yourself, and your affiliated institutions, right? This is just 
one example of a topic being worked on in a TDWG Task Group. The TWDG 
conference gives you the opportunity to learn more about standards 
development, contribute to standards improvement and adoption, and that 
you have the tools needed to do this work.

Wondering what typical TDWG Symposia look like? See the TDWG Journal: 
Biodiversity Information Science and Standards 
<https://biss.pensoft.net/collections> for all our conference 
proceedings and TDWG2020 as an example 
<https://biss.pensoft.net/collection/222/>.

Please contact the conference organizers 
<mailto:conf-organizers at tdwg.org?subject=Question%20about%20TDWG%202021> 
with any questions.

In anticipation!
Deborah Paul and Ely Wallis (current TDWG Chair and Co-Chair)

See TDWG Task Groups <https://www.tdwg.org/community/#task-group> for
