Outreach & communicationThe need to talk - all feedback is good

• “Build it & they will come” doesn’t always work

“…the field [of biodiversity informatics] appears to be growing in a void of overarching, motivating questions, effectively making it a set of technologies in search of questions to address.”

Peterson et al. The big questions for biodiversity informatics.Systematics and Biodiversity. 2010

• We need to promote what we do via:• Help & support systems

• Training courses

• Sociological research & feedback

• Presentations, papers, blogs

• Promotional materials

• Representation on http://vbrant.eu

• Trifold-leaflets for each group of activities
