The Milestone MS282 summarises the results of the Second EU BON Training Event and its evaluation based on the participants feedback. The Second EU BON Training Event was held March 19, 2015, back to back with the joint CETAF-EU BON informatics workshops 1 . The event was organised by the University of Finland (UEF) 2 and Digitarium 3 (WP2 leader), in collaboration with CETAF ISTC and other EU BON work packages. It aimed to continue introducing participants to the information architecture, data standards and data sharing tools developed or used by the EU BON consortium and the accent was made on the hands-on session with GBIF new Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) which was adapted by EU BON to enable the flow of sample-based data in support of EBVs (Essential Biodiversity Variables). The training was attended by 28 people from the EU BON consortium and beyond (from 13 countries).
