About DiSSCo
DiSSCo Prepare is the preparatory phase project for DiSSCo. The DiSSCo RI works for the digital unification of all European natural science assets under common curation and access policies and practices. These aim to make the data easily Findable, more Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR). As such, DiSSCo enables the transformation of a fragmented landscape of the crucial natural science collections into an integrated knowledge base that provides interconnected hard evidence on the natural world.
DiSSCo represents the largest ever formal agreement between natural history museums, botanical gardens and collection-holding universities in the world.
