Dr Rui Figueira is the GBIF node manager for Portugal since 2013 and an Assistant Professor of the Instituto Superior de Agronomia (ISA). After completing his PhD in Ecology by the University of Lisbon in 2002, he was Invited Assistant Professor of Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon (2004-2010). His research interests are on species¿ distribution modelling and biodiversity informatics, with integration of ecological niche modelling, geostatistics and multivariate data analysis. He was involved in 29 research projects, (four as coordinator). He published a total of 70 scientific papers, including 42 per-reviewed papers in international scientific journals. His experience in biodiversity informatics includes the development and management of information facilities (hardware and software) to support biodiversity data, installation and use of standards and protocols for biodiversity data mobilizing, integration and sharing (Darwin Core, GBIF IPT, Platform ALA, Specify 6) and training. In its professional activities, he co-authored scientific publications with 67 researchers.
