EDIT General Meeting
15-16 December 2009
As EDIT approaches its final year, we hope to engage in a practical discussion of what taxonomy and taxonomists achieve when working together in EDIT. We will discuss the transformation of taxonomy into a global cyberscience, with speakers inside and outside EDIT defining a picture of a discipline that experiences growing relevance and capability. As in previous editions, all EDIT institutions will be able to send a number of delegates to this event.
