Funding
The Swedish Taxonomy Initiative aims to map and scientifically describe the country’s plants, animals, and fungi, with a focus on lesser-known species and organism groups. As part of this effort, funding is announced annually for taxonomic research and networking activities. Support is also provided for biological collections.
Digital species information (Swedish)
An important part of the Swedish Taxonomy Initiative is making facts and data accessible to researchers, professional conservationists, and the nature-interested public. This is done, among other things, by providing society with digital information and tools for environmental monitoring and conservation efforts. Artfakta, Artportalen, and Dyntaxa are key components of this species information infrastructure.
The Encyclopedia of the Swedish Flora and Fauna (Swedish)
The core idea behind The Encyclopedia of the Swedish Flora and Fauna (Nationalnyckeln till Sveriges flora och fauna) is to make knowledge about the country’s species and their habitats accessible. The books present Sweden’s multicellular animals, plants, and fungi in systematic order.
Ongoing and upcoming (Swedish)
A large number of scientific projects are currently underway with funding from the Swedish Taxonomy Initiative. In addition, courses and events are held on an ongoing basis. Here you can find information about what is currently in progress or coming up soon.
Results (Swedish)
Since the launch of the Swedish Taxonomy Initiative in 2002, funding has been granted to numerous taxonomic research and inventory projects, networking activities, and biological collections. The initiaitive has also continuously organized its own courses and activities.
