of invasive alien species as part of our FinBIF portal. I’m just now trying to find out what kinds of standards/attributes there are related to invasives that need monitoring. EASIN seems to have dispersal mechanisms as search criteria for species, but then
there is a much richer set of information about invasives requested by IUCN:s GRIIS network (I can share that too).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Dear EU nodes collegues, <br>
<br>
EASIN has invited GBIFS to provide a speaker at its 3rd ‘enlargement' and training workshop early next month, 9-10 Feb, at JRC, in Ispra, Italy (<a href="https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/event/workshop/easin-enlargement-training?search">https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/event/workshop/easin-enlargement-training?search</a>).
The Secretariat has an interest in the event and has recently started collaborating on getting the EASIN invasive species catalogue published as a checklist (still an open item).
<br>
<br>
Ana Cristina Cordoso, EASIN’s director, wrote to the Secretariat that the event will focus on its expansion "by including new partners, such as research institutes, national authorities, data base managers, experts and relevant stakeholders, who own, represent
or manage national or regional biodiversity information systems and databases, including large scale personal databases.” In addition to interactive training, the workshop will also address data standardization issues and protocols for sharing information.
That is where GBIF comes in, as EASIN is interested in a general presentation that shares GBIF experiences and perspectives on data collection, quality assurance, data standards and interoperability, data format and data updates.<br>
<br>
Like EASIN is a european initiative, GBIFS contacted Anders and I (as European representatives) and it has been decided that Anders will go and make the presentation.<br>
<br>
In order to help him in this task (he kindly accepted), I would like to ask you to provide any information you could have about invasive species at national/regional levels , or highlight any solutions/considerations/issues around GBIF and invasive species.<br>
<br>
Many thanks for considering my request.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Anne-Sophie <br>
<br>
