Biodiversity monitoring: Data from wildlife camera traps to the Atlas of Living Australia

"The Wildlife Observatory of Australia
(WildObs) is a national initiative transforming how Australia collects, processes, and shares data from wildlife camera traps. It brings together artificial intelligence, field monitoring standards, and open data infrastructure to create an end-to-end platform that supports large-scale biodiversity monitoring and ecological research. By streamlining the management of camera trap data—from image collection to analysis—WildObs aims to improve the consistency, accessibility, and scientific value of this rapidly growing data source." >>

The EuroStack: Europe Innovating on Its Own Terms

EuroStack is our rallying cry to shape Europe’s digital destiny. By prioritizing strategic autonomy and harnessing breakthrough tech—AI, chips, quantum computing, advanced cloud solutions—we’re preparing Europe for tomorrow’s challenges and new opportunities.

It’s time to build a digital future that mirrors our democratic values, economic ambitions, and environmental commitments.

Seize the Opportunity

EuroStack isn’t about idealism—it’s hard realism. The alternative? A Europe reduced to digital colonialism, with industries hollowed out, citizens under foreign surveillance, and climate goals held hostage by monopolies.

We have the tools, we have the talent. Now we need the will to innovate on our own terms.""
