Introduction to the 6th PARSEC workshop and USP Data Science Workshop

The mission of this event is to disseminate to the Brazilian scientific/academic community experiences and outcomes in synthesis science and data science of the BELMONT project “Building new tools for data sharing and reuse through a transnational investigation of the socio-economic impacts of protected areas” (PARSEC) - a Belmont Forum collaborative research action related to e-infrastructures innovation.
