B-Cubed Project

B-Cubed has officially come to an end🎉 🌐For the past three and a half years,we have worked to standardise access to biodiversity data and help transform fragmented biodiversity records into timely, policy-relevant indicators 🙌A huge thank you to everyone who joined us! See our results👉 b-cubed.eu

🚨Today marks the final day of B-Cubed! 👉To celebrate it, we share how one of our stakeholders, SANBI, used B-Cubed tools for South Africa’s national reporting on biological invasions. 📖Read the whole story: b-cubed.eu/news/b-cubed...

🤔 Did you know that much of the data needed to manage invasive alien species already exists, but is often fragmented, outdated, or hard to access? 🌐 @b-cubed.eu’s new policy brief provides practical lessons on turning #IAS records into better decisions 📖 Read it: zenodo.org/records/21977633

❓ How can open biodiversity data from @gbif.org streamline #HabitatsDirective reporting? 🌎 B-Cubed has published a policy brief based on the findings of our case study exploring this topic 🔎 Learn the key barriers we identified and the recommendations provided: zenodo.org/records/2199...

🦋📑 A new study explores how current policy objectives and scenarios may affect common biodiversity 👉 Learn more: bioagora.eu/news/predict...

🗓️If you are going to #TDWG26 you can now see the talks in each session 👉https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2026/program/schedule/

It’s the final week of B-Cubed, and we celebrate how far we’ve come since the beginning of the project! 🌐 🔎 Learn all about the tools we have developed over the last three years and how to use them in our Legacy Booklet: zenodo.org/records/1962...

🧊Since 2023, B-Cubed has been developing automated, interoperable data pipelines to create #data #cubes that enable users to transform complex species data into clear, customisable indicators. ➡️Learn how our tools help turn biodiversity data into policy insights: b-cubed.eu/news/how-new...

📢Stay tuned! 💻A new version of #rgbif is going to be released at the end of September Learn more ⬇️

🔙Throwback to the negotiations at #SBSTTA28 and #SBI7 in Nairobi. 📖A document summarising the key outputs of B-Cubed's workshop "From Data to Trends: Workshop on indicators and metrics for tracking biological invasions" was published as an "Other" for the #SBSTTA28 🔗 zenodo.org/records/2170...

🌱An upcoming webinar will focus on the concept of plant-blindness in the One Health approach 📑Read our joint policy brief on the topic: zenodo.org/records/1982... 🔗Register for the webinar: onestop-project.eu/news/join-on...

🌐 In the last month of B-Cubed, we’re taking a moment to look back on our highlights from 2026 and showcase some of the project's key results. 🔎 Learn more in our final newsletter preview.mailerlite.io/preview/4574...
