The presenters of #LivingData2025 will publish their extended abstracts in the Biodiversity Information Science and Standards journal. It's a great way for conference contributions to remain permanently accessible and enjoy great reach and discoverability.
We're here, #LivingData2025! Come visit us at booth 9 and our team, headed by Pensoft CEO Prof. Lyubomir Penev, will tell you all about our involvement in biodiversity-related #HorizonEU & #H2020 project as well as our commitment to #openaccess publishing!
Pier Luigi Buttigieg, author at RIO journal and @biss.pensoft.net focussed on omics and biodiversity standards, stopped by the @pensoft.net stand at #LivingData2025 - always great to meet like-minded scientists!
We met with Pierre Bonnet, author at RIO journal and @biss.pensoft.net, at #LivingData2025! He is also part of @mambo-project.eu, a Horizon Europe project dedicated to modernising biodiversity monitoring.
A very big smile by Lien Reyserhove, author at RIO journal and @biss.pensoft.net, as she visits the @pensoft.net booth at #LivingData2025! Notice the @onestop-project.eu materials she is holding!
💡You might remember hearing about @mambo-project.eu-developed tools using AI, deep learning & #citizenscience to identify #species at past @tdwg.org conferences. 👉Check out those conference abstracts & more in @mambo-project.eu's #openscience collection in @riojournal.com at doi.org/10.3897/rio....
