Open science lab for biodiversity
We make biodiversity research open and reproducible
👋 We are the Open science lab for biodiversity, a project-funded team at the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO) in Belgium. We make biodiversity research open and reproducible through data, standards and software.
We offer technical support to the research projects we participate in, such as B-Cubed, BIG_PICTURE, DTO-BioFlow, GuardIAS, HiRAD, LIFE RIPARIAS, LifeWatch, OneSTOP. Our support is mainly focused on data management, open data publication and research software development. We ❤️ open science, so our approach is open by default, international and community-oriented.
Interested to work with us? Get in touch.
