The city of Cambridge and the Wellcome Campus hosted the Final General Assembly of the EU-funded project BiCIKL (acronym for Biodiversity Community Integrated Knowledge Library): a 36-month endeavour that saw 14 member institutions and 15 research infrastructures representing diverse actors from the biodiversity data realm come together to improve bi-directional links between different platforms, standards, formats and scientific fields. They all agreed that the Biodiversity Knowledge Hub - the one-stop portal for understanding the complex - yet increasingly interconnected landscape of biodiversity research infrastructures - is likely the flagship outcome of BiCIKL.
