Enhetschef med inriktning taxonomi och artinformation till SLU Artdatabanken

Publicerat av
Svara

SLU Artdatabanken är ansvariga för regeringens satsning Svenska artprojektet, som har som mål bland annat att beskriva och tillgängliggöra information om alla flercelliga arter i Sverige och att bidra till att nå nationella och internationella mål för naturvården och inom andra områden. Artdatabanken har en ny organisation sedan årsskiftet där flera enheter delar på ansvaret för att producera, sammanställa och tillgängliggöra information om Sveriges arter. Enheten för taxonomi är central i detta arbete och skapar strategiska och praktiska förutsättningar för att nå Svenska artprojektets mål. Till exempel har vi hand om den centrala svenska taxonomiska ryggraden (känd som Dyntaxa) och den systematiska kunskapsspridningen både digitalt och i form av referensverket Nationalnyckeln till Sveriges flora och fauna. Enheten ansvarar också för Artdatabankens forskningskansli, som fördelar medel från Svenska artprojektet till taxonomisk forskning och biologiska samlingar. Till denna enhet söker vi nu en enhetschef

Svara

Earlier this year it was announced that due to the pandemic the next International Botanical Congress will be delayed one year and held in Madrid, Spain, in July 2024. The dates for the rescheduled Botanical Congress are as follows:

  • Nomenclature Section, July 15-19, 2024 
  • Congress, July 21-27, 2024 

The officers of the IBC Organizing Committee are Gonzalo Nieto Feliner (President), Juan Carlos Moreno (Vice-President) and Marcial Escudero (General Secretary). The organizing team has been working hard to form the necessary planning committees, hire the conference venue and conference management team, and prepare a website to provide details on the upcoming Congress. The Congress website is now live and additional details about the Congress will be added as they become available (https://ibcmadrid2024.com/). Information about the members of the Organizing Committee, Scientific Program Committee, and Advisory Committee can be found on the website. 

The organizers look forward to welcoming everyone to Madrid in July, 2024!

We now have an exciting preliminary program for Systematikdagarna (see below), which will take place via zoom on 29–30 November. The zoom link will be posted closer to the event.

There are some free slots for 20-min presentations, which we hope you will help us fill. There will also be a poster session for which posters will be needed.
