2021 GBIF Young Researchers Award
On behalf of the network of national Participants, the GBIF Secretariat is pleased to invite nominations for the 2021 Young Researchers Award. This annual programme aims to foster and recognize innovative research and discovery in biodiversity informatics by graduate students whose master's and doctoral studies rely on GBIF-mediated data.
The 2021 programme will provide a pair of €5,000 prizes recognizing the work of two early-career researchers—preferably, one master's and one PhD candidate—nominated by the heads of delegation and node managers from GBIF Participant countries.
A jury organized by GBIF Science Committee will select two award recipients from the pool of nominees whose names are received by the GBIF Secretariat by 21 June 2021. The winners will be announced in early fall 2021.

CETAF E-Score Award 2021 https://cetaf.org/news/apply-e-score-award-until-14-february-2021
CETAF is very happy to inform you that the deadline of the E-SCoRe Award 2021 has been extended until Sunday 14 February 2021!
E-SCoRe - Excellence in Scientific Collections-based Research will celebrate for the second year the new generation of scientists who have shown interest in the collections that help documenting, describing and understanding life on Earth.
The foundations of E-SCoRe are the natural science collections that are hosted, preserved and curated in research organisations across Europe and in associated countries with CETAF member institutions. The research staff of these institutions explore and document diversity in nature. The knowledge they collectively build provides a foundation on which policies and initiatives for nature conservation and the protection of natural resources are based.
By awarding the E-SCoRe award, CETAF wishes to highlight the signifiance of collections-based research in the fight against biodiversity loss and climate change as well as to support early career researchers in this field.

The 2021 Ebbe Nielsen Challenge has opened with the aim of recognizing innovative entries that leverage biodiversity data and tools from the GBIF network to advance open science. An expert jury will judge entries on their openness and repeatability, relevance and novelty and present a selected pool of winners with a total of up to €20,000 in prizes.
Deadline: 2 August 2021, 1600 CEST | UTC +2
Between 20 January and 2 August 2021, individuals and teams can prepare tools and techniques that improve the access, usefulness and quality of open biodiversity data and submit them to this annual open-ended incentive competition.
Challenge entries can take any number of approaches. Entrants may choose to develop new applications, visualizations, methods, workflows or analyses, often (but not always) making use of the GBIF API to access data. You may also build on or extend the capabilities of existing tools and features available across the GBIF network. We encourage entrants to review previous winners as well as previous winning entries for ideas, problems or approaches you may wish to pursue (see below).
Entries should benefit multiple stakeholder groups, including data users, data holders and data managers. You may wish to review the GBIF Communications Strategy to see how we describe GBIF's audiences.
