Today, TETTRIX officially begins. 🌍
🌿 Building on the foundations of TETTRIs, TETTRIX will strengthen Europe’s taxonomic capacity by connecting knowledge, expertise, infrastructure, and communities to generate reliable, actionable biodiversity knowledge for science, policy and society. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏻

#NameItToSaveIt

🟡 🌿 Wrapping up a busy week at #BioMonWeek2026

#CETAF contributed to discussions on biodiversity monitoring and highlighted TETTRIs-linked outcomes supporting taxonomic capacity building in Europe.

Excited to see @tettris.eu featured in the new #CORDIS Results Pack

🎉 Tomorrow, CETAF kicks off #TaxonomyRecognitionDay at the 8th Knowledge of Chamber!

We'll be at the House of European History & Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences talking about taxonomy & @tettris.eu

Join our #NameItToSaveIt campaign! 📸🌱

#TRD2026 #Biodiversity

Taxonomy helps us protect biodiversity. Without species names, conservation becomes impossible.

To celebrate Taxonomy Recognition Day (23 May), we launch #NameItToSaveIt — highlighting taxonomy’s importance for nature.

🟠 Wrap-up of the first day of TETTRIs Final Event

Today we focused on advances in #AI-based tools for taxonomy, reference collections, and the relevance of genomic tools, with a special focus on the new #Marketplace as a key tool to connect experts and taxonomic services.

🚀 Tomorrow the TETTRIs Final Event kicks off in Brussels 🇪🇺

Organised by @eurotaxonomy.cetaf.org & @naturalsciences-be.bsky.social , bringing together experts, researchers & policymakers to share insights and shape the future of taxonomy in #Europe (Apr 27–29).

Every species has a story—but without a name, that story may never be told. 🌍✨

On May 23, we celebrate #Taxonomy, the science that names, classifies, and describes life on #Earth.

We invite you to join us—discover how on our website 🔗

🎧 During the #TETTRIs project, innovative ways of engaging citizens were explored through music.

Groups of young people took part in nature excursions alongside a biologist and musicians, encouraging them to observe, pause, and truly listen.

Citizen science apps like iNaturalist are transforming biodiversity data 📱🌿

But behind every record, experts verify observations — ensuring quality data for platforms like GBIF.

AI helps, but human expertise is key.

Do you use these apps? 👇

📝 “TETTRIs exists to modernise taxonomy — and that’s essential for conservation.”

In this article, Michael Magee (Natural History Museum of Denmark) explains how #TETTRIs is driving efforts to modernise taxonomy for conservation.
