INBO Strategisch Collectieplan. Versie 1
This document is a strategic collection plan designed primarily to inform INBO staff and, secondarily, external stakeholders about the vision, policy, strategies, and tactics associated with managing natural science objects as a long-term INBO collection; a natural science collection of physical specimens linked to Flemish biodiversity and geodiversity. We are publishing this strategic collection plan as an INBO report within the context of Open Science and the DiSSCo Flanders project, for the purposes of transparency and inspiration, respectively.
This first version of the INBO strategic collection plan was initiated in 2023 within the framework of the DiSSCo Flanders 1 project and completed through a participatory process in 2026. During the creation of this document, adjustments to collection management were already being implemented to transition from the current state to the desired state. We are placing this document under version control, as updating it every 4–6 years is best practice and we have experienced firsthand that such a document is never truly finished, given the ongoing optimization initiatives across INBO’s ten subcollections.
The document provides the context regarding collections and collection management at INBO, detailing the organization of the INBO collection (structure, personnel, financial context), performance indicators, development plan, spatial plan, conservation plan, collection access policy, and a concise communication plan. For each of these themes, both the current and desired states are documented.
Finally, to move from the current to the desired state, specific actions have been defined in an internal document to work toward optimal collection management in a tangible, stepwise manner. Achieved actions, which align with either milestones or outputs, are published within this strategic collection plan to provide insight into how the optimization of INBO collection management has advanced thus far.
