Workshop on collection gaps in Chilean herbaria

Registration is now open for the online workshop “Collection gaps in Chilean herbaria”, to be held on August 7, 2026, from 09:00 to 12:00 hrs.

The workshop will open a national conversation on how digitization, taxonomic updating, spatial analysis, and new collection strategies can strengthen Chilean herbaria as scientific infrastructure for biodiversity.

The preliminary program includes presentations on Herbario Digital, the vascular plant catalogue of Chile, spatial analysis of collection gaps, ExpediCONC, botanical expeditions, and a final discussion aimed at outlining a shared roadmap for strengthening herbaria in Chile.

The activity is open to the public, with prior registration required. Registration form: https://forms.gle/rEsDXccgeNAuaWCy7
