This project aims to enhance data publication and bioinformatics in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. The primary objective is to digitize and publish 300,000 records from the National Herbarium of Uzbekistan (TASH), as part of an ambitious digitization program.

The project team will provide capacity-building workshops on digitization techniques, data publication, and data cleaning while co-creating Russian language resources. An integral part of this project is setting up an Uzbek IPT for local data publication, aimed at strengthening the Uzbek GBIF node infrastructure.

Driving knowledge-sharing between Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, this project is expected to significantly boost the number of published biodiversity records from Central Asia, showcasing the importance of open science and paving the way for future data publication endeavors.

During this project, Tajik project partners will translate all materials relevant for data publication to Tajik for local specialists and to Russian for others Central Asia countries.
