What did we accomplish during #BioMonWeek2026? And why is BioMonWeek so important for BMD and all other biodiversity monitoring projects? Our project coordinator @[email protected] says it all 👀 🌳 Curious to know how BMD was present at the conference? Read our overview blog: lnkd.in/gnrTW_r5
Harmonisation ≠ full standardisation.
Smart biodiversity monitoring builds on flexibility, coordination, parallel data workflows & minimum common requirements, from local to European scales. #BioMonWeek2026
How do we monitor biodiversity at a European scale?
Spatially optimised sampling, co located EBVs, larger networks & gap filling with new tech. Key takeaways from EuropaBON at #BioMonWeek2026
#BioMonWeek2026 Day 3 is in full motion! 🌟 At today's session on "Biodiversity Data Cubes", at 10:00 AM, Niels Billiet explained how BMD uses a data cubing engine to analyse biodiversity monitoring data 📊
Highlights from #BioMonWeek2026 Day 2 💧🫶 Yesterday at 10:00, BMD partner Olaf Bánki presented during the session "Tools for data use, curation, and management". He talked about the connection between policy-relevant species data and the Catalogue of Life 🐦

Data doesn’t integrate itself.
"Social infrastructure and networks are more important than physical infrastructure."
As Beryl Morris (TERN Australia) reminds us: it’s not just about technology. People, coordination and shared standards are what make biodiversity data truly work.
