Science & Data Committee remit
The Science & Data Committee aims to advance BSBI’s scientific and data management work to provide high quality, impartial data and interpretation for research and to help address biodiversity loss and climate change. This includes oversight of BSBI’s scientific projects, surveys and publications grants and maintaining BSBI’s network of County Recorders and Referees (taxon group experts). The committee has up to 10 members, including the Chair and Secretary. There is a Science and Research subcommittee, which awards BSBI Research grants. The Head of Science attends meetings, along with other science, data and country staff from time to time.
