Lithuanian institutions enhancing capabilities in working with GBIF data

In 2026, researchers from State Scientific Research Institute Nature Research Centre, the Institute of Biosciences of Vilnius University Life Sciences Centre, and Kaunas Tadas Ivanauskas Zoological Museum, together with colleagues from the Swedish Museum of Natural History and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF Sweden), are implementing the project “Biodiversity Data Capacity Building in Lithuania” (CESP2025-002).

 

The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is an international network and open data infrastructure funded by governments around the world. It provides free access to biodiversity data published by thousands of institutions through a shared platform, thereby supporting science, policy, and nature conservation.

 

The first training session took place on 16–20 March at Nature Research Centre in Vilnius. It was attended by scientists from various fields as well as representatives from the State Service for Protected Areas.
