1 EU BON Building the European Biodiversity Observation Network Christoph L. Häuser Museum für Naturkunde - Leibniz Institute for Research on Evolution and Biodiversity Berlin, Germany

2 EU BON proposal key information EC FP7 - Cooperation Theme 6: Environment (incl. climate change) (ENV ): Assessing global biological resources: the European contribution to GEO BON Funding mechanism: Collaborative Project Currently: negotiation phase (Nr ) Project start: end 2012 / early 2013 Proposed duration: 54 months (48 + 6) Consortium: 29 partners (18 countries) Budget: <9 mio Euro

3 EU BON consortium partners Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin (MfN) Germany University of Tartu (UTARTU) Estonia University of Eastern Finland (UEF) Finland Global Biodiversity Information Facility Secretariat, Copenhagen (GBIF) Denmark University of Leeds (UnivLeeds) UK Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, Leipzig / Halle (UFZ) - Germany The Spanish National Research Council: MNCN, Madrid (CSIC) Spain University of Cambridge UK Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS: IMBE; SEEM) France Pensoft Publishers, Sofia - Bulgaria Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum, Frankfurt (SGN) - Germany Vizzuality, Madrid Spain FishBase Information and Research Group, Los Banos (FIN) Philippines Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, Iraklion (HCMR) Greece The Natural History Museum, London (NHML) UK Freie Universität Berlin (FUB-BGBM) Germany University of Copenhagen (UCPH) Denmark Royal Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren (MRAC) Belgium Plazi Switzerland GlueCAD Ltd.

4 Biodiversity information stakeholders: EU BON associates - and growing

5 Main objective of EU BON => building a European contribution to GEO BON A key feature of EU BON delivery of relevant biodiversity information and analysis from on-ground / in-situ observation and remote sensing to various stakeholders and end users, ranging from local to global levels The integrative EU BON approach will facilitate (political) decisions in different sectors concerned with biodiversity for human well-being at different levels, ranging from park management to national governments and IPBES.

6 Specific goals of EU BON Enabling greater interoperability of data layers and systems Advancing data integration Increasing data mobilization (from science and society) Harmonizing and mainstreaming biodiversity recording and monitoring schemes Improving analytical tools and services Supporting (biodiversity) science policy interfaces Linking integrated information to relevant stakeholders Strengthening European capacities and infrastructures for environmental information management

7 EU BON work packages WP0: Consortium management & organization; WP1: Data sources: requirements, gap analysis & data mobilization; WP2: Data integration & interoperability; WP3: Improving tools and methods for data analysis & interface; WP4: Link environment to biodiversity: analyses of patterns, processes & trends; WP5: EU BON testing and validation of concepts, tools, and services; WP6: Stakeholder engagement & science-policy dialogue; WP7: Implementation of GEO BON: strategies & solutions at European (& global) levels; WP8: Dissemination and outreach.

8 EU BON workflow structure

9 EU BON proposes two related networking levels: (1) a science-based social network, comprising and connecting the communities of practice engaged in collecting, managing, analyzing, and utilizing biodiversity observations and data, and (2) a technological network of interoperating IT infrastructures and systems that store and distribute information of all kinds held by multiple organisations and partners, and to provide a user-friendly platform for data analysis and interpretation. For resource efficiency, the establishment of the EU (GEO) biodiversity information network (BON) will build on existing infrastructures and efforts to integrate recording and monitoring schemes and their data, across Europe and internationally.

10 Building blocks: EU - biodiversity projects (FP6 / FP7): 4D4Life, ALARM, ALTER-Net, ATEAM, BHL-Europe, BioVeL, COCONUT, DAISIE, EBONE, ECOKNOWS, EDIT, EuMon, FaunaEuropaea, HabitChange, HighARCS, i4life, KNEU, MACIS, MS.MONINA, LifeWatch, MARBEF, PESI, OpenUp!, SCALES, SPIRALS, STEP, SYNTHESYS, ViBRANT
