Dear colleague,

The summary and slides from  the RDA-Europe / BlueBRIDGE Datathon on Fisheries and Aquaculture that was held on 15-16 June 2017 in Heraklion, Crete, Greece  might be of interest. The event was kindly hosted by the Institute of Marine Biology, Biotechnology and Aquaculture of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (IMBBC/HCMR) .

Dr. Marco Minghini (Polimi, Italy)  presented the work of  Geospatial IG and examples of  some geospatial open datasets of interest for the datathon. Details at https://zenodo.org/record/809223#.WUj841KZP-Z 


I want to thank Marco for also using Zenodo as it is great example that Open Science knows no borders! The digital revolution has necessitated a re­tooling of the scholarly processes to handle data and software, but this is proceeding at varying speeds across different communities, disciplines, and nations. To ensure no one is left behind through lack of access to the necessary tools and resources, Zenodo makes the sharing, curation and publication of data and software a reality for all scientists  http://about.zenodo.org 


Best wishes,
