Virtual Biodiversity Research and Access Network for Taxonomy (ViBRANT) was a European Union FP7 funded project starting in December 2010 and completed in November 2013.
ViBRANT supported the development of virtual research communities involved in biodiversity science. Our goal was to provide a more integrated and effective framework for those managing biodiversity data on the Web.
ViBRANT paved the way towards more interoperable systems and integrated services in biodiversity research. We are already looking into preparing a successor project to support data, processes and communities towards the long term vision of predictive modeling of the biosphere.
