iBOL meets to discuss BIOSCAN

The second iBOL Project

On October 12th, iBOL members from 27 countries met at the Centre for Biodiversity Genomics in Guelph, Canada to reflect on past achievements and discuss the launch of its next project – BIOSCAN.

The three-day meeting signaled the growing strength and commitment of its members. Together, members old and new developed a strategy to move forward and barcode a planet.

“We are going to barcode a planet.”
