To increase data usage, this workshop was held as part of the BIFA project The Biodiversity Theses Database and in collaboration with OWA IPB, one of their student body organizations, to promote using biodiversity data. Using the GBIF data portal, participants were introduced to biodiversity data from GBIF and how to use it for biodiversity research.
During the workshop, participants were shown to how download, sort, and clean data from GBIF for their research needs and were encouraged to develop their own question and hypothesis that could be answered using biodiversity data from GBIF.
As a result, participant's awareness on the existence of biodiversity data mobilization for further use in large-scale research was increased.
