Dear all,=20=0D=0A=0D=0A=A0=0D=0A=0D=0AThe Distributed European School of=
Taxonomy (DEST, http://www.taxonomytraining.eu), originally funded by th=
e EC in the framework of the EDIT project, has launched two types of trai=
ning courses at various European research facilities and universities. Th=
e programme is open to participants from Europe and from outside of Europ=
e.=20=0D=0A=0D=0A=A0=0D=0A=0D=0AThe Modern Taxonomy programme 2013-2014 o=
ffers intensive theoretical courses in subjects as varied as nomenclature=
and DNA-barcoding. The Expert-in-training programme 2013-2014 enables gr=
aduate students and early career researchers to develop and strengthen th=
eir taxonomic research skills through on-the-job-training. The programme =
includes a great diversity of topics and covers various groups such as di=
atoms, rotifers and tropical plants.=20=0D=0A=0D=0A=A0=0D=0A=0D=0ASeveral=
