About the webinar
Biodiversity conservation relies on efficient data management, collaborative research, and informed decision-making. OpenBioMaps is an open-source platform designed to support researchers, conservationists, and policymakers in handling large-scale biodiversity data. In this webinar, we will explore the core technologies behind OpenBioMaps, its role in facilitating decision support and research collaboration, and how it leverages EGI e-Infrastructure services to enhance performance and accessibility.
The session will highlight the integration of OpenBioMaps with the EGI Cloud, specifically utilising resources provided by SZAKI, and its connection to the broader European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) ecosystem. Participants will gain insights into the technical capabilities of the platform, real-world applications in biodiversity research, and the benefits of using federated computing resources for environmental data management.
Target Audience
This webinar will be particularly valuable for researchers, data scientists, and professionals in conservation and ecological research who are interested in advanced digital tools for biodiversity data processing and analysis.
