<p>Dear EU Node manager, <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Following the message I sent you in June, I participated by video
conference to the meeting of the 23 of June (unfortunately only
the morning). <br>
</p>
<p>For sure, the GBIF nodes could be involved in the WG3 around
standards and good practices and at the MNHN in Paris, there is an
app INPN species which could fit in the WG2.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I will keep in touch if I have new updates<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Anton: still waiting for an answer around the perimeter.<br>
</p>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
best wishes <br>

Anne-Sophie<br>

font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">It
is widely recognised that the
effective management of
biological invasions,
including the implementation
of legislation such as the EU
Regulation on IAS, requires
accurate, detailed, and timely
information on occurrences and
distribution of IAS for their
efficient prevention, early
detection, rapid response, and
also for evaluating the
effectiveness of management
measures.

workshop on “Citizen Science
and Open Data: a model for
Invasive Alien Species in
Europe´, held in Brussels on 8<sup>th</sup>
February 2017, delivered key
recommendations for
researchers, policy makers and
implementing authorities,
indicating future research and
policy directions/
opportunities regarding CS and
IAS:</span></p>

<p class="Default"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;

the project proposal we would
develop, we suggest to give a
follow up to these key
recommendations:</span></p>
<p class="Default"><b style=""><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">Organisational
and governance issues</span></b></p>
<p class="Default"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">-
Ensure the long-term
sustainability of CS projects,
e.g. by identifying and
acknowledging local “IAS
champions”, providing feedback
to participants to maximize
their involvement, developing
reward systems, anticipating
technological advances, and
refining the CS projects to
the users’ needs.</span></p>
<p class="Default"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">-
Promote reuse and sharing of
interoperable CS data,
avoiding duplication by
enhancing the use of standards
in CS data (e.g. Darwin Core)
and licensing, at least at EU
level.
</span></p>
<p class="Default"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">-
Encourage dissemination of
existing tools, by promoting
free and open IAS smart apps,
re-usable source code, ease
translation into multiple
languages (e.g. as in JRC’s
Invasive Alien Species
Europe), and aligning and
coordinating CS efforts within
Europe and beyond.</span></p>

font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">Technical
issues</span></b></p>
<p class="Default"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">-
Enhance timely CS data flows,
in particular for issuing
alerts on IAS of Union concern
to MS competent authorities.
</span></p>
<p class="Default"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">-
Improve quality assurance and
decrease bias of CS data about
IAS through a) automated
mechanisms where possible, b)
exploit trends in filtering
systems to select data with
specified confidence level, c)
use of dedicated training,
including guidance on
validation criteria for the
IAS of Union concern coming
from CS initiatives.
</span></p>
<p class="Default"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">-
Coordinate and aggregate
validated CS data about IAS to
open repositories, such as
GBIF and EASIN, where managers
can find all data in one place
and analyze them through web
services</span></p>
<p class="Default"><b style=""><span

interactions between
citizens, scientists and
policy-makers
</span></b></p>

Tackle the scepticism of
governmental authorities in
relation to CS data by
highlighting successful
showcases.
</span></p>
<p class="Default"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;

Promote available expertise
and share guidelines about the
use of CS for IAS related
matters across all MS.</span></p>
<p class="Default"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">-
<span style=""> </span>Increase
public participation in
targeted IAS field campaigns
that use good experimental
designs and appropriate
methods and tools, including
the smooth use of smart apps
(e.g. collecting as less
personal information as
required).</span></p>
<p class="Default"><span

Address legal and ethical
issues by clearly stating the
terms of participation, and
