National Taxonomy Research Hub -
Communication and Knowledge Exchange Project

The National Taxonomy Research Hub is a multi-disciplinary collaborative research program accelerating discovery, documentation and delivery of information to support conservation, management and sustainable use of Australia’s biota.

A primary goal of the Hub is to ensure end user communities are aware of and able to access and deploy results of the taxonomic research.

This project will play a key role in ensuring taxonomic products and services make their way to key user groups to be taken up in environmental management and decision-making.

As knowledgebroker I will work with researchers and the community to facilitate information discovery and translate complex taxonomic information, applications and tools developed in the Hub into practical applications.
