Hi everyone,
I’m posting the following message on behalf of Colleen Funkhouser from the Biodiversity Heritage Library. I gave a presentation at the BHL Annual Meeting Public Day 2024 and throughly enjoyed to experience. If you are interested I encourage you to submit your proposal. I’m also happy to discuss this with anyone who may be interested and who wants to know more.
Dear BHL Partners, Staff, Committees, and Working Groups,
The Call for Speakers for BHL Day 2025 is now open! In conjunction with the BHL Annual Meeting, the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin will host a public symposium on 9 April 2025 with the theme:Bridging Data and Nature: Connecting Information, Technology, and Biodiversity.For complete details, visit https://s.si.edu/bhlday2025
We invite our BHL colleagues to present your work on biodiversity data and literature at BHL Day 2025. The events take place over two days, 9-10 April, in a lunch-to-lunch format that allows additional time for interactive engagement with the extended BHL community, biodiversity community, and invited guests. The 15-20 minute talks will be held in-person and streamed live during the symposium on the afternoon of 9 April. On the morning of 10 April, in-person workshops will be held for participants to discuss topics from across the BHL consortium. Selected speakers may be asked to lead breakout sessions focused on their symposium talks. The final program for the symposium and workshops will be announced in early March.
Submission process: Submit your proposal https://forms.gle/QzW533GuRuerbdQN9 by 21 February 2025. The planning committee and BHL Executive Committee will make the final selection of speakers. Preference will be given to speakers attending in person. Speakers may also present virtually or via recording. Speakers will be notified of selection by the end of February. https://s.si.edu/bhlday2025
