A brief history of ENBI
May 2001 ENBI call.
January 2003 ENBI official start.
OECD Mega-science Forum (1995): Development of biodiversity informatics is a large, complex and costly undertaking ….
EU: Need for coordination and cooperation at European level
• Same biogeographic region• European databases• IT aspect
Introduction

ENBI is a thematic network…
Introduction
“Thematic networks are designed to facilitate co-ordination of activities and transfer of knowledge around a given scientific and technological objective……”
• No research• Does not own data, does not build databases• Financial support for three years
• Communication and coordination• Workshops, seminars, e-conferences, protocols, guidelines, etc.• Pilot studies and demonstrators
