Revision as of 14:38, 4 December 2013


These resources are an at-a-glance introduction to existing Thematic Collection Networks (TCNs), including a volunteer contact and their email for each project, and some rudimentary information about the organisms in their proposal. This information hopes to be an aid to anyone writing a proposal, or who has recently received funding and is looking for tips and advice.

TCN Lightening Round Progress Reports at Summit 3, November 2013

Each TCN gave a succinct digitization progress report: https://www.idigbio.org/content/idigbio-summit-iii-0

TCNs at a Glance

Below is a table of TCN project information. RDCNs are added below for completeness since they work closely with thematic networks. Note: number of anticipated specimens and images is approximate.
