The European natural science collections Research Infrastructure for data-intensive frontier research
About us
The Distributed System of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo) is the new Research Infrastructure for European natural science collections. Currently going through its transitional phase - DiSSCo Transition- DiSSCo is at the centre of data-intensive scientific excellence and innovation for taxonomic and environmental research, food security, health, and the bioeconomy. DiSSCo mobilises, links and delivers currently fragmented biodiversity and geodiversity information at a scale, form and precision required, tooling scientists to address major challenges of the Anthropocene. The new RI introduces a step change by massively improving the capacity of scientists to discover, access and analyse complex and previously disjoined information deriving from the study of the vast European natural science collections.

Last week, six of Germany's largest #naturalhistory collections joined forces to create DiSSCo's German National Node: DiSSCo-D. It is a historic moment for DiSSCo but also for the future of German natural collections. Glückwunsch! https://lnkd.in/eUNftUur European Research Executive Agency (REA)

Since its inception, DiSSCoEU has been making the case for mass-scale #digitisation of European #naturalhistory collections. But what does it take to get ready for digitising? Our colleagues from @DiSSCobutDanish are a case in point: https://lnkd.in/euff6ScH #biodiversity #FAIRdata European Research Executive Agency (REA)
Halfway and looking good! DaSSCo continues building its infrastructure for mass-scale digitisation in Denmark - DiSSCo
