In the afternoon Ferenc Szigeti, a BURST Biodiversity Thematic Expert, summarized the most important trends and ideas about CIBioGo, ecosystem services, their importance, and also about urban biodiversity as a tool of social innovation to involve different layers of society.
The afternoon continued with the stakeholder workshop, whose objective was to consider ways to improve citizen involvement in the various processes related to biological data. The partnership was divided into 4 different sub-groups (planning, collection, action, dissemination), each of which targeted a specific process of biological data.
A sharing session concluded the workshop, to discuss the topics addressed by the 4 different teams.
