Join us at #BioMonWeek2026 🌿 CETAF will be in Montpellier (4–8 May) presenting TETTRIs-linked work on capacity building for biodiversity monitoring. 📍 Come say hello at our booth! 
🗓 We’ll take part in a session on capacity needs for species identification, 6 May. 🔗 2026.biomonweek.eu/page/home/

🟠 Wrap-up of the first day of TETTRIs Final Event Today we focused on advances in #AI-based tools for taxonomy, reference collections, and the relevance of genomic tools, with a special focus on the new #Marketplace as a key tool to connect experts and taxonomic services.

🚀 Tomorrow the TETTRIs Final Event kicks off in Brussels 🇪🇺 Organised by @eurotaxonomy.cetaf.org & @naturalsciences-be.bsky.social , bringing together experts, researchers & policymakers to share insights and shape the future of taxonomy in #Europe (Apr 27–29).

Every species has a story—but without a name, that story may never be told. 🌍✨ On May 23, we celebrate #Taxonomy, the science that names, classifies, and describes life on #Earth. We invite you to join us—discover how on our website 🔗 tettris.eu/trd/

🎧 During the #TETTRIs project, innovative ways of engaging citizens were explored through music. Groups of young people took part in nature excursions alongside a biologist and musicians, encouraging them to observe, pause, and truly listen.

Citizen science apps like iNaturalist are transforming biodiversity data 📱🌿 But behind every record, experts verify observations — ensuring quality data for platforms like GBIF. AI helps, but human expertise is key. Do you use these apps? 👇 #CitizenScience #Taxonomy #Biodiversity

📝 “TETTRIs exists to modernise taxonomy — and that’s essential for conservation.” In this article, Michael Magee (Natural History Museum of Denmark) explains how #TETTRIs is driving efforts to modernise taxonomy for conservation. 🔗 tettris.eu/2026/03/24/a...

🟣Many women contribute to the future of taxonomy. Meet Amelie Höcherl, an early-career taxonomist working on parasitoid wasps (Microgastrinae) and recently involved in the description of a new species from the German Alps: Illidops oroseira #WomenInScience #Taxonomy
