About ViBRANT

ViBRANT: Supporting biodiversity research communities

ViBRANT is a European Union FP7 funded project starting in December 2010 that will support the development of virtual research communities involved in biodiversity science. Our goal is to provide a more integrated and effective framework for those managing biodiversity data on the Web.

ViBRANT provides: 

• A virtual research environment (Scratchpads) where users can safely store, share and manage their research information.
• Analytical services for users to build identification keys and phylogenetic trees.
• A publication platform for users to automatically compile biodiversity science manuscripts from their research database.
• A portal for users to centrally access publicly accessible biodiversity research information and literature.
• Training, helping research communities to use these tools and services.
• A standards compliant technical architecture that can be sustained by biodiversity research community.

Get involved by:

Starting a Scratchpad, getting training, accessing data, or becoming a developer.
