Greetings SPNHC folks,<br>
<br>
RE: TDWG2021 - Call for Symposia Proposals Open!<br>
Theme: <strong>Connecting the world of biodiversity data: standards
uniting people, processes, and tools<br>
</strong>CALL:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://mailchi.mp/fc74352c80a2/tdwg-2021-call-for-organized-sessions-in-the-virtual-conference-1822-october">https://mailchi.mp/fc74352c80a2/tdwg-2021-call-for-organized-sessions-in-the-virtual-conference-1822-october</a><br>

Hoping to see many SPNHC members at the virtual TDWG2021 Conference.
Please see the <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2021/">Conference
Announcement</a> and <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://mailchi.mp/fc74352c80a2/tdwg-2021-call-for-organized-sessions-in-the-virtual-conference-1822-october">Call
for Symposia</a> -- 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.<br>
<br>
Wondering what typical TDWG Symposia look like? See the TDWG
Journal: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://biss.pensoft.net/collections">Biodiversity
Information Science and Standards</a> for all our conference
proceedings and <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://biss.pensoft.net/collection/222/">TDWG2020 as an
example</a>. <br>
