Update from the BIOFAIR Data Network Project



The Biodiversity Collections Network (BCoN), in collaboration with the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS), held a series of domain-focused virtual listening sessions over the summer to engage an expansive set of stakeholders toward Building an Integrated, Open, Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (BIOFAIR) Data Network.



The sessions convened stakeholders from the federal agency<https://t.congressweb.com/l/?SWQPRDAHHKVFMBW>, genetic and genomic data<https://t.congressweb.com/l/?SWQPRDAHHKVUYOE>, One Health<https://t.congressweb.com/l/?SWQPRDAHHKWSQNN>, ecological data<https://t.congressweb.com/l/?SWQPRDAHHKDVGNC>, climate and environmental data<https://t.congressweb.com/l/?SWQPRDAHHKWMLNK>, and biodiversity informatics<https://t.congressweb.com/l/?SWQPRDAHHKFLIVR> communities to explore the initiation of a comprehensive biological and environmental data network through the creation of a collaborative and accessible partnership. Brief summaries from each of these sessions are available on the links above.
