Abstract side event 2316 - Large-scale biological collections, research centres for capacity building and technology transfer in support of the CBD
Large-scale biological collections such as natural history museums and botanical gardens play a crucial role not only as centres of international biodiversity research, but also for providing expertise and relevant resources, and in building capacity for Parties to better fulfill their obligations under the Convention. They also contribute to the dissemination of knowledge on past and present species. Senior representatives for member institutions of the CBD's Consortium of Scientific Partners (CSP) and the Consortium of European Taxonomic Facilities (CETAF) jointly with the European Distributed Institute for Taxonomy (EDIT) will present prime examples from a range of projects and activities in support of the Convention, particularly at the international level. A special focus will be on successful mechanisms for capacity building and technology transfer, relevant for biodiversity conservation as well as for sharing benefits from access to biological resources / materials
