Nomeações abertas para prêmio do GBIF com foco em jovens pesquisadores que
contribuíram com publicações para o banco de dados. A.
Hi All,
GBIF is inviting nominations for the 2017 Young Researchers Awards, with the
focus on publication of datasets that give rich information on species observed
or collected in particular sampling events.
The GBIF Young Researchers Awards is an annual programme aimed at fostering
innovative research and discovery in biodiversity informatics. Working closely
with GBIF national Participants, the 2017 awards will provide €5,000 prizes
recognizing the work of two graduate students—one a master’s candidate and one
a PhD candidate—nominated by GBIF Participant countries.
In previous years, the YRAs have sought to encourage innovative uses of
biodiversity data mobilized through the GBIF network. Building on recent
updates to the Darwin Core standard that powers GBIF, the 2017 awards will
recognize the best proposals to mobilize and share new sampling-event datasets
through GBIF.org.
These fundamental datasets from ecological researchers contain key information
on the presence or absence and abundance of species, and provide the richest
resource for modeling biodiversity patterns and for detecting changes and
trends in populations. They provide a critical tool for understanding the
prospect and pace of widespread global change.
