INC-STEP Reference Collection

We are taking flight! 🪰 🌱 We are pleased to announce the start of SEN-PollColl, a project funded by @IUCNsos @EU_ENV and firmly grounded in the taxonomy network, workflows, and experience developed under the INC-STEP project. #EUPollinators

🌍 By connecting collections, people, and data, SEN-PollColl will increase the visibility and scientific use of Spanish regional collections, support conservation actions, and contribute to a stronger pollinator research community in Spain. Stay tuned! 📡 📷 C. García Sanjuán

🎯 Our key objectives are: 1️⃣ Mobilisation of collection-based data on pollinators 2️⃣ Training and education of students and collection managers in best practices 3️⃣ Networking and long-term collaboration among institutions housing pollinators

@unicomplutense @TETTRIsEU We have reached the end of the meeting! To conclude, Rob gives a brief summary of the day, the tasks carried out by all members, and the future possibilities of the project. To be continued? We hope so! 😉

@unicomplutense @TETTRIsEU Now it's the turn of Conrad Gillett, one of the consultants at @TETTRIsEU assigned to the INC-STEP 3PP project, to give us some insights into the work carried out by the consortium to date and its importance within the TETTRIs framework.

Today we held the final INC-STEP @TETTRIsEU meeting at @museuciencies! 🗣️ To kick off the meeting, we had an opening talk by @RobWilsonMNCN, who gave us an overview of the project.
