Diversity Workbench Workshop|DivWorkbenchWorkshop_45], at [ITCER, Kenya|https://itcer.org/] arranged by [NFDI4Biodiversity|https://www.nfdi4biodiversity.org/en/] and [SNSB IT Center|http://www.snsb.info/] (in presence: Ng’iya, Siaya County) ''This DWB Training for scientists at [ITCER Kenya|https://itcer.org/] continues existing activities within an ethnobiological research project on management and publication of scientific data on traditional mycological and lichenological knowledge in Africa. The training includes practical work with Diversity Workbench (DWB) tools. Colleagues from Africa and Germany discuss opportunities for further scientific and technical collaborations. The advanced DWB approaches for data mobilization, data processing and data publication in Africa will reach data interoperability with regional, national and global data platforms like those of the [Global Biodiversity Information Facility|https://www.gbif.org/] and the upcoming [German National Research Data Infrastructure|https://www.nfdi.de/?lang=en] while maintaining regional data sovereignty. __Contact persons for technical and local event organisation__ *Josphat Matasyoh, Egerton University, ITCER Kenya *[Gerhard Rambold|mailto:gerhard.rambold@uni-bayreuth.de], University of Bayreuth, ITCER e.V., ITCER Kenya __Contact person for ethnobiology in Africa and the project "EthnoMycAfrica"__ *Rosemary Tonjock Kinge, The University of Bamenda, Cameroon __Contact persons for DWB issues__ *[Dagmar Triebel|mailto:triebel@snsb.de], Bavarian Natural History Collections, SNSB IT Center, NFDI4Biodiversity *[Tanja Weibulat|mailto:weibulat@snsb.de], Bavarian Natural History Collections, SNSB IT Center, NFDI4Biodiversity !!Invitees and participants *Rosemary Kinge, University of Bamenda, Cameroon (on site) *Joyce Jefwa, Pwani University, Kilifi, Kenya (on site) *Roël D.
