[Nhcoll-l] Webinar: Summary from the BIOFAIR Data Network Listening Sessions

[Jyotsna Pandey]

*Webinar: BIOFAIR Data Network Listening Sessions – A Summary*

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
<https://bcon.aibs.org/biofair/>) Data Network. The sessions convened
stakeholders from the federal agency, genetic and genomic data, One Health,
ecological data, climate and environmental data, and biodiversity
informatics 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.

The final summary report

focusing on the areas of unity across the six virtual Listening Sessions is
now available. The steering committee will be holding a webinar on *Wednesday,
November 13, 2024 at 3:00 PM ET* to discuss this report and to gather
additional feedback to inform preparations for the upcoming
interdisciplinary workshop (February 2025) to develop recommendations and
create a roadmap towards a FAIR, open, and integrated data network.
