About

Welcome to the science collections! This portal aims to make all digitized collections easily accessible, fostering a collaborative environment for research and innovation.

DiSSCo Flanders PowerBI dashboard

The DiSSCo Flanders use-case examined regional Flemish collections through a survey. Discover the findings of this research on natural science collections and gain insights into the historical and current state of biodiversity. The use of a PowerBI dashboard for the graphical representation of the collections enhances their visibility for both scientists and policymakers.

The consortium comprises nine funded and twelve associated partners, including Flemish universities, research institutions, and an association of botanical gardens and arboreta. Together, they represent rich collections of approximately 5.8 million specimens and bring expertise in collection management, digitisation, biodiversity informatics, machine learning, citizen science, and legal and ethical domains. The consortium is also active in education, collection-based research, and applications, and is closely linked to international organisations and research infrastructures.Associated to the project are the Federal Belgian collections to ensure aligned policies and procedures.
