This workshop, named “Utilisation et Analyse des Données sur la Biodiversité” is focused on giving the participants an overview of the different ways to access GBIF-mediated data (highlighting the role of the GBIF Data Portal), and the different possible uses of such data. As an example of biodiversity data analysis, an introduction to ecological niche modelling techniques will be part of the course. This workshop will have a regional component with participants from Belgium and Switzerland.
