The 29th edition of the Ecsite Conference is hosted by CETAF member, the Natural History Museum of Geneva, in partnership with CERN, University of Geneva Scienscope, and Campus Biotech.

The high-level Horizon 2020 conference – organised by the European Commission Directorate General for Research and Innovation, in close cooperation with Directorates General for Education and Culture and for Communications Networks, Content and Technology – will showcase the dialogue between contemporary European society and the most promising innovations in the field of Cultural Heritage that European policies and funds have supported.

The European Data Economy can flourish only if data is accessible & re-usable across borders, across types of organisations (private, public, research) and across different disciplines and sectors.

European researchers, developers, service providers and private sector representatives are invited to join the discussion on the role of research data in the Data Economy context and the RDA contribution to the different Data Economy building blocks. 

Bringing together data infrastructure users and providers and policy makers from across Europe, the EUDAT Conference will:

The global environment is changing, the climate is warming, there are more extreme weather events, human activity has altered geochemical cycles of nutrients and land use change reduces and fragments habitats. How will plants adapt?

This conference aims to lead the participants outside their comfort zone and explore how working closely with different disciplines and departments can not only strengthen own areas of expertise, but museums as a whole.

The conference & workshop of the "Saving Freshwater Biodiversity Research Data" project will take place at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences on Tuesday 27th & Wednesday 28th February 2018.
