Meeting: 2026 GBIF Midterm Meeting (24-25 March 2026, Copenhagen)

I traveled to Copenhagen in late March for the 2026 GBIF Midterm meeting. This gathering brings together the GBIF Executive Committee, Science Committee, Nodes Steering Group, and, for me, the GBIF Budget Committee (where I serve as 1st Vice Chair). 

Members of the GBIF Secretariat also attend portions of the meeting and it provides a good look into the plans for the coming year that will be further explored during the GBIF Governing Board meeting (this year being held in September in Oslo, Norway.

Deliberations during the meeting are not public, but the one exciting bit was a preview of some ideas to mark the 20th anniversary of GBIF during the course of 2026.
