Wrapping up the #TETTRIXkickoff today! 🫶🇧🇪 On this final day, we will learn more about the Satellite projects of TETTRIX – a group of third-party projects that will be established to address different taxonomic challenges identified by TETTRIX. Stay tuned to hear more about them! 👀

Starting off day 2️⃣ of the #TETTRIXkickoff ☀️🇧🇪 Today, our TETTRIX partners will introduce us to their most important tasks for the next few years while going through all four of the TETTRIX pillars – Integrate, Transform, Upskill, and Demonstrate 💡🤝 #Taxonomy #NameItToSaveIt #EUbiodiversity

Hello from our #TETTRIXkickoff meeting in Brussels! 👋🇧🇪 In the next 3 days, all TETTRIX partners will gather at the @naturalsciences-be.bsky.social, where we'll exchange big ideas for the future of the project. Follow along to hear how each partner will help make taxonomy more visible and accurate 🌿

The TETTRIX team will meet for the first time at the #TETTRIXkickoff meeting! 🇧🇪🌿 📅 When: 7-9 October 2026 📍 Where: Brussels, Belgium

One last day at #TDWG2026 👋🇳🇴 Today, our TETTRIX partner David Fichtmüller from BO Berlin gave a talk on the topic of automatic tracking of taxonomic research, in which he also explained the connection between TETTRIX and its predecessor TETTRIs. 👉 More about this: cetaf.org/tettris-tett...

We are still at #TDWG2026 in Oslo 🇳🇴👋 Today, our partner Jana Hoffmann from @sgn.one stopped by our shared dissemination booth to check out the TETTRIX materials. Don't forget to also stop by the booth, where you can ask all your burning questions about TETTRIX! 📍📚

Greetings from #TDWG2026 👋🇳🇴 Yesterday, the TETTRIX partners Mathias Dillen (@meisebotanicgarden.bsky.social), David Williamson (NTNU), and David Fichtmueller (BGBM Berlin) visited our shared booth displaying the brand new TETTRIX materials. Come visit us too and learn more about TETTRIX! 🌱

Come say hi to the TETTRIX team at #TDWG2026 🇳🇴👋 Between 21-25 September, TETTRIX will appear for the first time at the TDWG conference, organised by @tdwg.org. Find us at our co-shared dissemination booth with the projects @bmd-project.eu and @aneris.eu 📚🤝 👉 www.tettrix.eu/news/mark-da...

One of our TETTRIX members, David Williamson (NTNU), was spotted at #NordicOikosGfÖ2026 in Odense, Denmark 🌱🇩🇰 David stopped by @pensoft.net's dissemination booth – one of TETTRIX’s 19 partnering organisations. 👉 More about the event here: nordicsocietyoikos.glueup.com/event/joint-...

Today, TETTRIX officially begins. 🌍 🌿 Building on the foundations of TETTRIs, TETTRIX will strengthen Europe’s taxonomic capacity by connecting knowledge, expertise, infrastructure, and communities to generate reliable, actionable biodiversity knowledge for science, policy and society. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏻

No clue what a springtail is? Never fret. We've interviewed the UK's national springtail biological recorder and PhD student @jamesimcc.bsky.social . Head to our blog to learn more ⤵️ https://sangerinstitute.blog/2026/03/26/studying-soils-unsung-heroes/ 📸 Tim Jonas #NameItToSaveIt

🟡 🌿 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

Join us at #BioMonWeek2026 🌿 CETAF will be in Montpellier (4–8 May) presenting TETTRIs-linked work on capacity building for biodiversity monitoring. 📍 Come say hello at our booth! 
🗓 We’ll take part in a session on capacity needs for species identification, 6 May. 🔗 2026.biomonweek.eu/page/home/

🟠 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...
