The Gothenburg Global Biodiversity Centre aims to link science and society around biodiversity and enhance and accelerate biodiversity research.

The GGBC has a global outlook, extending well beyond the borders of our home base in Western Sweden. We are a collaborative effort among eighteen partner institutions and are hosted at the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Gothenburg in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Find out more in our promotional video from 2018. We have been continuing to grow since then.
