The EU-funded Fauna Europaea project has upgraded its website: names of European organisms, together with links to taxonomic expertise and other resources.
The European Platform for Biodiversity Research Strategy (EPBRS) held a meeting on Positive Visions for Biodiversity in Belgium from 16-19 November 2010, looking at vision for 2050 and the necessary developments needed to achieve that, particularly by 2020. Draft notes only available at this stage, but curiously no mention of collections, taxonomy, access and benefit sharing or the CBD.
