Abstract

The Belgian Biodiversity Platform is an initiative of the Belgian Science Policy. It is an integrated network of members (scientists ad IT specialists) posted in federal and regional research institutions.

The mission of the Platform is to foster biodiversity research that contributes to sustainable development, by:
* Facilitating access to biodiversity data, science and research information;
* Encouraging interdisciplinary cooperation amongst scientists;
* Stimulating interaction between scientists, policy makers and stakeholders in biodiversity research;
* Advising on the designation of biodiversity research priorities;
* Promoting Belgian biodiversity research at international fora.
