4. Project scope • The BiReMe project describes nature-related EU reporting processes and data flows in five EU countries, investigates how GBIF could facilitate improved data flow pathways for EU reporting and recommends changes to GBIF tools/procedures which, if implemented, could improve the usefulness of the GBIF network for EU reporting.
5. Phase I : National use case Outcomes: • Description of the reporting process with graphics and texts • Suggest datasets for publication to GBIF • List of possible improvements 5 Five national use cases Based on interviews & available documents Common methodology
6. National use cases 
 How does the data flow? 6
7. What did we investigate? Institutions Contacts Data sources Dataflows Processes Tools Standards Accessibility 7
8. Phase II : Best Practices Outcomes: • Identify best practices • Suggest improvements to GBIF tools/standards 8 Compare/Analyse national use cases Formulate recommendations to GBIF nodes and Secretariat Reach-out national actors, EEA, all others EU MS
9. Recommendations to European Environmental Agency National entity in charge of reporting National experts NGOs GBIF Nodes GBIF Secretariat The Governing Board 9
10. To European Nodes 1. Be aware of national reporting calendar, process and stakeholders. 2. Make use of the questionnaire in order to publish more use-cases. 3.
