We are pleased to announce the call for abstracts for TDWG 2022, the hybrid conference of Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG), which will be held 17–21 October 2022 in Sofia, Bulgaria. Abstracts will be submitted to and published in Biodiversity Information Science and Standards (BISS). The deadline for abstract submission is 1 July 2022. Abstracts will be peer reviewed and final approval for publication requires payment of any registration fees by the presenter. Registration is now open. Content may be presented either in-person, virtually, or pre-recorded for TDWG 2022. Sessions will be recorded and made available initially only to registered attendees.

About the conference

The theme for TDWG 2022 is Stronger Together: Standards for linking biodiversity data. In addition to opening and closing plenaries, the conference will feature 14 symposia and a mix of other formats that include lightning talks, a workshop, and panel discussion as well as contributed oral presentations and virtual posters.
