Nordic Gene Bank (NGB) has been a GBIF Associate Participant since 2004. As of 1 January 2008, it has joined with the Nordic Forestry Resource and Nordic Animal Genetic Resource institutes to form NORDGEN - the Nordic Genetic Resource Center of the five Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden).

NGB has been sharing approximately 35,000 data records through GBIF; the metadata on the dataset has been updated to reflect the institutional change by Dag Terje, GBIF Node manager.

Dag Terje has also informed the Secretariat that the animal and forestry data sets of the new NORDGEN will soon be shared via GBIF as well.
