[Nhcoll-l] ICEDIG Opening Conference, 6 March 2018, Helsinki, Finland

[Karsten Goedderz]

Dear colleagues,

 









Following our initial event announcement for the upcoming 



ICEDIG Opening Conference - "Transforming natural sciences collections for
the digital age"



 in Helsinki, Finland (6 March 2018), I would like to take the opportunity
to inform you that registration for the conference in now open. 











ICEDIG, the EU funded project for "Innovation and consolidation for large
scale digitization of natural heritage" supports the new pan-European
Research Infrastructure initiative that is DiSSCo, which envisions to
position European natural science collections at the centre of



data-driven




scientific excellence and innovation



in environmental research. In combination, these initiatives will
help tackle the complex challenge of



digitising natural science collections





and providing access to collections data.







The ICEDIG Opening Conference will be a unique opportunity to understand the
ICEDIG Objectives and how its expected outcomes embed into DiSSCo and the
realm of natural sciences collections based research and related innovation.
At the Conference we will present the ICEDIG work programme and show to a
varied group of stakeholders the lines of action for mutual benefit and
complementarity when building up this new Research Infrastructure and the
envisaged set of services to be provided.







For more information about the event, please check the 



Conference webpage



 

or consider the attached 

Concept note

Furthermore, 

the event is being organised in close proximity to the

Conference


, taking place on the 7-9 March 2018, also in Helsinki, to showcase the
potential collaborations between the two domains and the need of leveraging
