The NSC Alliance has just signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the University of Florida (iDigBio) to promote the sustainable implementation of a national digital data meeting.
In response to a request from iDigBio in 2018, the NSC Alliance Board of Directors has entered into an agreement that will result in the NSC Alliance becoming a cosponsor of the annual Digital Data in Biodiversity Research Conference beginning this year. Additionally, NSC Alliance and iDigBio will work to secure funds over the next three years to ensure the conference continues after the Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections and iDigBio sunset in their current form.
The NSC Alliance looks forward to working with iDigBio, future conference hosts, the scientific community, and our member institutions to sustain this important scientific program. We hope that you will plan to participate in the 2019 conference this June. The 2019 conference is being held at Yale University from June 10-12.
