The University of Guelph hosts the second eDNA conference on June 18-20, 2023.
Academia, regulators, industry, NGO’s, and Indigenous partners are invited to join in a discussion on Pathways to Increase Standards and competency of Environmental DNA Surveys.
The intent of the conference is to explore and inform public policy, industry strategies and future research on eDNA. eDNA data is a growing source for global biodiversity data, and GBIF is currently working to enhance the support for dna-derived biodiversity data.
GBIF Secretariat will be present at the conference and give a plenary talk on eDNA data in GBIF, and lead a workshop on "Sharing and exploring DNA-derived biodiversity data on GBIF.org".
