Hosted by BRIDGE-BS partner HCMR, a three-day online training session was held, focusing on the environmental eDNA metabarcoding method. The event brought together experts from the BRIDGE-BS and DOORS Black Sea experts to delve into methodological standards and molecular techniques for analyzing benthic fauna, pelagic flora, and fauna.

Participants gained valuable insights through real-world case studies and advanced their practical skills during a hands-on data analysis session. This training not only enhanced their technical proficiency but also fostered a deeper understanding of the application of eDNA metabarcoding in environmental research.
