• Philippines 2• Taiwan 3• Thailand 8• US 5• Vietnam 3
Spirit of Meeting• Building on SEAIP / PRAGMA foundation
– Background• Exploratory
– Is there overlapping interest among research represented here?• Preliminary
– Consider this as an opportunity to take a first step.– We limited scientific focus mostly to terrestrial and plant
(including trees).– There are other colleagues / areas / activities that we could
consider for the future• Collaborative / Interdisciplinary
– We value interactions among colleagues, across disciplines (where it makes sense)
• Flexible and Fun– We can rearrange schedule
Outcomes: What we said!
• Explore biodiversity science challenges – that go beyond traditional approaches to disciplinary
biological research and natural resource management. • Explore possibilities for new collaborations among
researchers in Southeast Asia – for innovative approaches to interdisciplinary, complex,
data- and computationally-intensive biodiversity challenges. • Identify compelling biodiversity science questions
around which we can conceptualize a cyberinfrastructure that will enable new interdisciplinary science and collaborations.
Confluence of Science, Societal Issues, and Technology
• Initial scientific themes (not limited to) – geospatial, taxonomic, genetic, and functional
components of biodiversity• Applications to contemporary societal issues, e.g. – natural products chemistry, natural resource
management and certification, and biodiversity services quantification.
• Support infrastructure for this research includes– lab and field methodologies, data management,
remote sensing, sampling and sensor networks, and the underlying Cyberinfrastructure
Agenda – SaturdayIntroductions – Share Ideas - Discussions
• Session 1: Overview and informatics (part 1)– Reed Beaman
• Session 2: Chemistry (Pharmaceuticals, Natural compounds)– Habibah Wahab
• Session 3: Biodiversity / Forestry– Hen-biau King
• Session 4: Informatics (part 2)– Fang-Pang Lin
• Wrap –up: Summarizing ideas, opportunities, challenges
Each Session
• Overview• Short introduction - by each person
– Current research, development, or educational activities (relevant to the topic of biodiversity).
• Challenge question(s) (for example) – by each person– What are the greatest challenges to furthering your research?– What are the greatest opportunities in working with a broader
group of individuals to address key research challenges?– What are challenges to working internationally?– What are the opportunities for students in this area of
research?• Discussion
Agenda SundaySynthesis – Next Steps
• Are there common areas among some of the participants?
• Are there opportunities we should pursue for continued dialog and/or collaboration?
• Are there other researchers we should include for future meetings, workshops, or activities?
• Outline written report
How many are staying for Sunday?

Logistics Questions
• We do want to document some of this meeting.– Do you mind if we share the biosketches in a
report?– Do you mind if we post slides on the web?
Thanks!On Behalf of Organizing Committee
