> 2016 GBIF Ebbe Nielsen Challenge now open, seeking innovations for data gaps and biases
> 
> Dear Simon,
> 
> The 2016 GBIF Ebbe Nielsen Challenge, which will focus on on understanding, examining and addressing gaps and biases in open-access biodiversity data from the GBIF network, is officially open for submissions <http://sable.madmimi.com/click?id=45524.8310.255.1.15e682646442646af597cf9690b6b631>.
> 
> Individuals and teams now have two months to develop innovative submissions and vie for more than €30,000 in prizes from this incentive competition. Closing date for submissions is 29 September 2016. GBIF will announce first- and second-prize winners—who will receive €20,000 and €5,000, respectively—at its annual Governing Board meeting in Brasília on 26 October 2016.
> 
> Targeting geographic, taxonomic, temporal, environmental and other gaps and biases in the available data is one of five priorities outlined in the GBIF 2017-2021 strategic plan, so any entry has the potential to help improve data 'fitness for use' in scientific research and policy. The emphasis on gaps and biases also builds on a growing body of scientific research <http://sable.madmimi.com/click?id=45524.8310.256.1.935661e2ffdf8bcbd3a4a7a2e607be5b> that explores the topic.
