Daubenton
Daubenton is a mobility scheme for personnel working with natural history collections. Employees at the museum working with collection management and care are hosted for short training visits by one of nine partner institutions. The museum on the other hand receives collection staff from five of the partners which have corresponding programmes in their countries.
The project is supported by the European Commission's "Lifelong Learning", Leonardo da Vinci, and administrated by the International Programme Office for Education and Training
.
GBIF
or the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, is an international organisation that provides free and universal access to data on the world's biodiversity. The Swedish Museum of Natural History is the Swedish GBIF node.
Other international biodiversity projects that the Swedish Museum of Natural History participates in are:
LIFE WATCH E-science and technology infrastructure for biodiversity data and observatories
PESI, A Pan-European Species directories Infrastructure
BioFresh, Biodiversity of Freshwater Ecosystems
GPI and the Andrew W Mellon Foundation
The Global Plants Initiative (GPI) is an international collaboration aiming to digitise and make available plant type specimens, together with other botanical resources, for scholarly purposes. The GPI network of content providers includes more than 231 partner herbaria representing over 66 countries. Since its inception in 2003, this global effort to digitise and provide access to plant types has been funded and spearheaded by The Andrew W Mellon Foundation
. The Swedish Museum of Natural History has been with the GPI project since the beginning and currently runs two projects, watch a presentations of the projects.
The output of GPI is presented through JSTOR Plant Science.
NORDSIM
The Nordsim-laboratory is located in the Laboratory for Isotope Geology at the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm. Nordsim is a Nordic facility, funded jointly by Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland. It is based around a Cameca 1280 ion microprobe, an advanced mass spectrometer which allows direct in situ measurement of isotopic and elemental composition in selected micrometer sized areas of a sample.
PRE-MAL
Pest Research and Education – Museums Archives and Libraries, PRE-MAL, is a Swedish working group of experts on entomology, occupational medicin, and conservation of wood, textile, paper and natural history specimens. The group carries out research and informs about pest control in museums and other institutions with cultural and natural history collections. The PRE-MAL secretariat is at the Swedish Museum of Natural History.
SYNTHESYS
In SYNTHESYS, 19 partner institutions from 10 European countries have joined to create an integrated European resource for researchers in the natural sciences in Europe and globally. The participating institutions, Museum of Natural History included, hosting a total of more than 324 million natural history specimens, which are made available in a coordinated manner by SYNTHESYS.
