In 2023, the focus of CCEM’s annual workshop is internal synergy and consolidation of collaborations with the GLOBE Institute, Department of Biology and Natural History Museum of Denmark. Building on presentations, we will form knowledge of the empirical datasets and methods developed by CCEM as well as in-depth insights into sub-projects and their interrelations and roles in the analytical pipelines leading to cases of biological applications.
