Deadline: 17 January 2024

The Horizon Europe project “DTO-BioFlow – Integration of biodiversity monitoring data into the Digital Twin Ocean” has launched an Open Call for marine biodiversity data offering up to 60,000€ for institutions that manage marine biodiversity data.

The DTO-BioFlow project was awarded in the HORIZON-MISS-2022-OCEAN-01 call and started in September of 2023 (the University of Aveiro doesn´t participate in the consortium). The core mission of the DTO-BioFlow Project is to unlock those “sleeping” biodiversity data enabling the sustained flow of these and new data via primary integrators and EMODnet into the EU Digital Twin Ocean (EU DTO). It will create a digital replica of marine biological processes transforming new and existing data flows into evidence-based knowledge.

The abovementioned call is for marine biodiversity data holders who can contribute to the DTO-BioFlow project by establishing ingestion pipelines to the EU DTO and thereby increasing the flow of relevant biodiversity data. This Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP) grant can provide support to do so, by funding resources as well as facilitating a data training workshop for the selected applicants.
