LifeWatch Biodiversity Day - Taxonomy: The science behind species discovery

Join us on Thursday 30 January 2024 (13h-17h30) for this inspiring annual event on biodiversity, where science meets citizens, policy and industry.

This third edition will focus on Taxonomy – the science, efforts and tools behind global species discovery and naming! Understanding the name of a species grants access to a wealth of knowledge about its biology, distribution and significance to humanity. Get set for a half a day program filled with key-note lectures and insight information, and expect an overview of global taxonomic data systems, their practical use, and future prospects. A unique opportunity to get the inside scoop of this domain.

The event takes place at the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts, Palace of the Academies, Rue Ducale 1, 1000 Brussels.
