Next Biodiversity Collections Network (BCoN) Webinar: Legal Issues in Collections
Please join BCoN and Dr. Linda Ford on Wednesday, June 27, 2018, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, for our next webinar: Legal Issues in Collections. This webinar considers discussions and findings from a BCoN organized workshop held at Harvard University in March 2018 to address legal concerns associated with digitized collections and mitigating these issues using digital means. Participants with practical knowledge of how biological collections should manage legal issues in regards to changing policy, using cyberinfrastructure, and advising stakeholders used compliance with the Nagoya Protocol as a test case to investigate how U.S. institutions must respond to the need for increased transparency of their biodiversity collections and the required digital tracking.
