Stakeholder Roundtables

Under the purview of Task 9.3, seven Roundtables were organised to gather focused expertise from
outside the Project consortium. The events were organised and planned by the respective task leaders
for which the expertise was needed in collaboration with the leader of T9.3, CETAF (Consortium of
European Taxonomic Facilities). Globally, the Roundtables aimed to set operative discussions with
experts that could contribute to enhance, improve, complement and validate the content produced
by the work packages involved. As an alternative mechanism to common advisory boards, they have
proven really effective in tackling specific issues that either could not be entirely covered by the
Project partners and thus needed to be complemented with external guidance or required concrete
contributions to reach the desirable quality levels.
