Under the title ‘Talking about Taxonomy’, KomBioTa regularly invites taxonomy experts to share their experiences and findings from basic and applied research as well as from practice with all interested parties.

Our network also brings together a series of events organised by our members and partners that deal with various research questions relating to species knowledge.

More information

To be able to identify species at an academic level, suitable equipment is required: microscopes, landing nets, tapping umbrellas, clades and more. The competence center can provide this for its members.

More information

Members can consult and borrow special literature on the identification of various species groups from the Competence Center's office.

KomBioTa invites its members to a Get-Together in Stuttgart three times a year. The aim of the meetings is to get to know each other and discuss current issues in a relaxed atmosphere.

Members and interested parties are cordially invited to the meetings. The current invitation will be published on our dates page in good time before the next meeting.

Upcoming dates

Every year in April/May, KomBioTa invites all members to an exchange on current research topics and upcoming challenges. Members are invited by e-mail, but interested parties are also welcome to attend the meetings. The current invitation is published on our dates page in good time before the event.

Upcoming dates

Around 120 taxonomists have joined our competence center. They can present themselves on the list of experts - from young academics to experienced specialists. This allows specialists to get in touch with each other, network and cooperate.
