BiodiversityXL day 

The third BiodiversityXL community event is happening! This time we’re meeting at Naturalis Biodiversity Center on Thursday 30 March 2023.

The theme of the day is ‘Combining forces to tackle the biodiversity crisis’, with the aim to build further on, and expand, our BiodiversityXL community. The day will be held together with the Arise consortium that will organize workshops in the morning and the day before. 
It is no longer possible to sign up.
