• Proposal submitted to the GSRT in the context of the ESFRI (European Strategy Forum on Research
Infrastructures) platform
• In support of the LIFEWATCH ESFRI large Infrastructure
• Under the auspices of Institute of Marine Biology and Genetics (Director/Coordinator: Dr. Antonios Magoulas)
By: Dr. Christos Arvanitidis (project manager)

HELBIONET Objective
The creation of the national science and technology
Network on Biodiversity, the HELBIONET, in order to design
the construction and implementation of the national node
as the Greek contribution to the European Infrastructure of
LIFEWATCH.
This design must come from the activities of the Network and has to be
fully analysed through the elaboration of a Feasibility Study (FS) which
is the main deliverable of the project.
HELBIONET Specific objectives
1. To ally all the Greek scientific human potential (defragmentation) working on Biodiversity data and data observatories, in the state and abroad, in order to achieve a world-class excellence status in Biodiversity research.
2. To release all productive Biodiversity-relevant powers of the state which are
now either hidden or fragmented by engaging all the interested parties, including stakeholders the end users, and by developing new strategic partnerships towards sustainable management of use of the national Biodiversity wealth.
3. To disseminate the scientific and technological knowledge and experience on Biodiversity research to targeted and broad audiences through a variety of means such as workshops and e-conferences as well as electronic media (e.g. web site, mailing list).
Why?
Simply because the national Biodiversity data and data observatory equals to the cadastre of the national capital.

HELBIONET: Proposal principles
1. Clarity. 2. Scientific soundness and entirety (e.g. quality
controlled deliverables, viability)
3. Cohesion (design in collaboration with LIFEWATCH, distributed network; other ESFRI projects - EMBRC).
HELBIONET Consortium
1. Readiness (previous experience). 2. Complementarity (disciplines, “trading zones”,
technological advances)
3. Simplicity (information flow, communal approach).
4. Hierarchical approach (management).
5. Interconnectivity (activities)
6. Sustainability (commitment, stakeholder involvement).

Feasibility Study: Quality features
1. Inclusive (national effort).
2. Integrative (knowledge-based).
3. Multi-sectoral (questionnaire).
4. Scientifically sound (questionnaire).
5. Quality controlled (EEB).
6. Widely disseminated.
Today's business
1. Understanding of the basic components of HELBIONET.
2. Training on the basic data collection system: questionnaire.
