Once a year, GBIF sponsors a Science Symposium in association with its Governing Board meeting and science planning meetings. The GBIF Secretariat also organises symposia on biodiversity informatics at other meetings. Here, you can access abstracts, PowerPoint presentations and other materials related to these events.
