The “C3Biodiversidad” consortium, created by 16 leading Colombian institutions with the support of Earlham Institute, BRIDGE Colombia, and GROW Colombia, will build capacity in research cyberinfrastructure in a country teeming with wildlife and biological information.
A scientific cyberinfrastructure is a “technological and sociological” ecosystem that facilitates research data services. With human skill and an advanced set of computational tools Colombia’s biodiversity is soon to be revealed in greater depth than ever before.
Stimulated by the consortium, the world’s second most megadiverse country will help drive the big data revolution.
