Do we know relevant contact points in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan?
Dear Dr. Tykarski and Dr. Endresen,
I’m reaching out from the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine- we just initiated a new project called Engaging Scientists in Central Asia on Data Governance Principles for Life Science Data. We are soliciting expert nominations for an international ad hoc committee to provide support to a new project to better understand effective practices for the governance of and access to life sciences data and knowledge within research institutions. This project will engage scientists from various countries internationally, with a focus on Central Asia. Because of the study focus, we are particularly interested in nominations from Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, Tajikstan, and Kyrgyzstan.
We were wondering if you might be willing to share our call for nominations with the experts in your network at GBIF (and beyond) with expertise in genomics, systems biology, synthetic biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, next generation sequencing, biotechnology, biorisk management, cybersecurity, data security, and/or international data-sharing policies? Self-nominations are welcomed, as well.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or suggestions you have.
Best, Trisha
