🎧 During the #TETTRIs project, innovative ways of engaging citizens were explored through music.

Groups of young people took part in nature excursions alongside a biologist and musicians, encouraging them to observe, pause, and truly listen.

Modernising taxonomy for conservation - TETTRIs New article by TETTRIs WP8 leader, Michael Magee (Natural History Museum of Denmark), published in Open Access Government.

📝 “TETTRIs exists to modernise taxonomy — and that’s essential for conservation.”

In this article, Michael Magee (Natural History Museum of Denmark) explains how #TETTRIs is driving efforts to modernise taxonomy for conservation.

If a species has no name, it is invisible to science, policy and conservation

#TaxonomyRecognitionDay #Biodiversity #Science #TETTRIs #Taxonomy

Call to action - Taxonomy Recognition Day, May 23rd Every species has a story—but without a name, that story may never be told. This Taxonomy Recognition Day, May 23rd, a coalition of Europe’s leading natural history museums and botanical gardens is calling on the world to celebrate the science that names, classifies, and protects life on Earth. From the Canary Islands to Norway, and Portugal to Greece, over 30 institutions are coming together to shine a spotlight on taxonomy—the foundation of biodiversity research and conservation. Events across Europe will include expert talks, debates, behind-the-scenes tours, hands-on activities, and networking opportunities, all aimed at raising awareness about the critical role of taxonomy in our world. Join the #NameItToSaveIt Movement This year, we’re asking everyone—scientists, students, nature lovers—to help make taxonomy visible. Here’s how you can participate: 📸 Take a photo of a plant, animal, fungus, or microbe that fascinates you. 🔤 Find its scientific name (or ask for help—we’re here for that!). 📲 Share it on social media with the hashtag #NameItToSaveIt. Every post is a voice for biodiversity. Let’s make this the loudest Taxonomy Recognition Day yet! Why It Matters A million species are currently threatened with extinction—many of them still unknown to science. Naming a species is the first step toward protecting it. Taxonomy plays a crucial role in agriculture, medicine, conservation, and policy-making. Without it, we cannot fully understand, protect, or restore the biodiversity that sustains us all. For more information, visit tettris.eu/trd. For further information and tailored contributions from our partners, please contact: Michael Magee magee@snm.ku.dk Stay informed on the latest developments and announcements via official TETTRIs channels.

🗣️This initiative is promoted by the #TETTRIs Project, funded by the European Commission. 

👩‍🔬Taxonomy specialists work at the #IICG, such as Tamara Villaverde,  who works on the classification of the Cyperaceae family in the framework of the #iSedge project, funded by the TETTRIS consortium

#TETTRIs #PolicyBrief 📝
#Biological nomenclature is a cornerstone of #biodiversity #research, conservation and #taxonomy. #Policymakers, funding agencies, museums and international standards organisations should provide the necessary investment and support to secure its future.

#TETTRIs stands for "Transforming European Taxonomy through Training, Research and Innovations".
It's a 38-months project that involves 17 Partners from 15 different European Countries. With a budget of 6 M€, it will support cascade grants for 1.8 M€. #research 🔵🟠🟢

🟢🟠🔵 TETTRIs starts today! 🟢🟠🔵
What's #TETTRIs, an arcade game? 🕹️
Nope! It's a new @HorizonEU project, a joint endeavour and the first one led by the #CETAF community!
We are so excited for this adventure to start. Read the thread to get a couple more insights ⤵️
