itinfra@erga-biodiversity.eu < Back ITIC - IT & Infrastructure Committee itinfra@erga-biodiversity.eu In the IT and Infrastructure committee, we aim to facilitate robust and reproducible science in all steps of creating an ERGA genome. The IT Committee oversees the use of various platforms to keep all other committees up to date, secure and compliant with EU laws and regulations. The IT Committee is central to ensuring that data and metadata are accessible to the public and in line with our Open Access Policies. Our main tasks revolve around providing material for the ERGA community to facilitate the management and publication of (meta)data consistent with the goals of ERGA and the wider Earth BioGenome Project community. Please send us an email if you would like to be involved in our work.

socialjustice@erga-biodiversity.eu < Back Social Justice Committee socialjustice@erga-biodiversity.eu The ERGA Social Justice Committee is dedicated to embedding justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion principles into every aspect of eukaryotic genome production, from sampling to results dissemination. This committee serves as an ethical compass for ERGA members, guiding the community to ensure that every step in the genome generation pipeline is conducted with social responsibility and respect for diversity in line with our four core principles: promoting diversity, ensuring equity, advancing inclusion and upholding justice. Through these principles, we aim to ensure both scientific rigor and social responsibility in our guidelines for generating high-quality reference genomes.

citizenscience@erga-biodiversity.eu < Back CS - Citizen Science citizenscience@erga-biodiversity.eu The Citizen Science and Outreach Committee aims to facilitate collaboration and communication between scientists, stakeholders and citizens to increase trust in the scientific process and ensure that genomics research reflects the needs and perspectives of the broader community. By engaging a broad range of stakeholders, including policy makers, non-governmental organisations, industry representatives and citizens, the Committee seeks to foster a fruitful multi-stakeholder dialogue and support the traditional community knowledge through the use of citizen science and stakeholder perspectives. To achieve its goals, the Committee works to engage citizens and stakeholders in the research process and to promote public understanding of genomics through various public events and other activities. In addition, the Committee supports policies that support genomics research and its translation into practical applications for the benefit of society.
