🟡 🌿 Wrapping up a busy week at #BioMonWeek2026 #CETAF contributed to discussions on biodiversity monitoring and highlighted TETTRIs-linked outcomes supporting taxonomic capacity building in Europe. Excited to see @tettris.eu featured in the new #CORDIS Results Pack 🔗 cetaf.org/cetaf-biomon...

🎉 Tomorrow, CETAF kicks off #TaxonomyRecognitionDay at the 8th Knowledge of Chamber! We'll be at the House of European History & Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences talking about taxonomy & @tettris.eu Join our #NameItToSaveIt campaign! 📸🌱 #TRD2026 #Biodiversity

Taxonomy helps us protect biodiversity. Without species names, conservation becomes impossible. To celebrate Taxonomy Recognition Day (23 May), we launch #NameItToSaveIt — highlighting taxonomy’s importance for nature. Read the article by Michael Magee 👇 short.do/j7BwtW

🟠 Wrap-up of the first day of TETTRIs Final Event Today we focused on advances in #AI-based tools for taxonomy, reference collections, and the relevance of genomic tools, with a special focus on the new #Marketplace as a key tool to connect experts and taxonomic services.

🚀 Tomorrow the TETTRIs Final Event kicks off in Brussels 🇪🇺 Organised by @eurotaxonomy.cetaf.org & @naturalsciences-be.bsky.social , bringing together experts, researchers & policymakers to share insights and shape the future of taxonomy in #Europe (Apr 27–29).

Every species has a story—but without a name, that story may never be told. 🌍✨ On May 23, we celebrate #Taxonomy, the science that names, classifies, and describes life on #Earth. We invite you to join us—discover how on our website 🔗 tettris.eu/trd/

🎧 During the #TETTRIs project, innovative ways of engaging citizens were explored through music. Groups of young people took part in nature excursions alongside a biologist and musicians, encouraging them to observe, pause, and truly listen.

Citizen science apps like iNaturalist are transforming biodiversity data 📱🌿 But behind every record, experts verify observations — ensuring quality data for platforms like GBIF. AI helps, but human expertise is key. Do you use these apps? 👇 #CitizenScience #Taxonomy #Biodiversity

📝 “TETTRIs exists to modernise taxonomy — and that’s essential for conservation.” In this article, Michael Magee (Natural History Museum of Denmark) explains how #TETTRIs is driving efforts to modernise taxonomy for conservation. 🔗 tettris.eu/2026/03/24/a...
