Ivo Wijnbergen will explain the advantages of the ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID), a unique and persistent identifier, and the ways of using it for assembling and combining a researcher’s all professional activities: institutions, grants, research projects, publications and research data. Integration of the ORCID with the biodiversity platform PlutoF will be presented together with the team of digital archives of the UT Natural History Museum.
