Mentors and trainers

Mentors are a pillar of the GBIF community of practice. By sharing their expertise within the community, GBIF mentors contribute to capacity enhancement by providing support to project teams, participating in training events and by interacting with other mentors.

Becoming a volunteer mentor is an opportunity to collaborate with the growing community of scientists, institutions, and networks involved in the mobilization and use of biodiversity data, and to make new connections all around the world. GBIF maintains an open call for volunteers to join this group of mentors and trainers.

Areas of expertise

Mentors typically have experience in several of the following areas:

• Biodiversity data mobilization
• Biodiversity data management
• Biodiversity data publishing
• Biodiversity data analysis and use
• Node development
