LIFEWATCH - Life Watch
PESI was funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Program (project reference: RI-223806), contributing to the FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES 'Capacities' sub-program under the Coordination and Support Actions (CSA) funding scheme (call: FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2007-2). Continuing support for the coordination and management of PESI was given by the University of Amsterdam (via the former Zoological Museum Amsterdam), and key partner institutes, including Botanischer Garten und Botanisches Museum Berlin-Dahlem (BGBM), Royal Botanical Gardnes, Kew (RBG) and Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee (VLIZ).The pan-European checklists initial set ups were established as part of the respective EC-FP4 ERMS (MAS3-CT97-0146), EC-FP5 Euro+Med (EVR1-CT-2000-40004) and EC-FP5 Fauna Europaea (EVR1-1999-20001) projects. A first pilot on integrating the pan-European checklist was carried out during the EC-FP5 EuroCAT (EVR1-CT-2002-20011) project.Preparatory work on PESI was done during the EC-FP6 EDIT (GCE 018340) and MarBEF (SUSTDEV 505446) Networks of Excellence (NoEs). Support on e-Publishing and optimising platform interoperability was given by the EC-FP7 ViBRANT (RI-261532) project and support on preparing taxonomic workflows and on installing web services was provided by the EC-FP7 BioVel (INFRA 283359) and EC-FP7 iMarine (CONNECT 283644) projects.The further development of PESI (as 'EU-Nomen') is partially covered by the EC-FP7 EU BON project (ENV 30845) and partially supported by national LifeWatch nodes, including LifeWatch Flanders and LifeWatch Greece, spin-offs of the EC-FP7 LifeWatch (INFRA 211372) project. Additional support is given by taxonomic museums or institutes, national biodiversity platforms, GBIF nodes or biodiversity agencies, hosting PESI focal points.
