Conference schedule

The five-day programme will begin with pre-conference tutorials & workshops and the European ISCB Student Council Symposium (ESCS). This will lead into the main conference held on-site over three days, featuring keynote lectures, parallel sessions covering five major scientific areas, a special track dedicated to ELIXIR and SIB focus sessions, two poster sessions, an exhibition area, and, most importantly, a lively conference party. On Thursday evening, at the close of the main conference, a public lecture titled "Biological and biomedical data: what are the Challenges, potential, and risks for society" will invite the broader public to reflect on the societal implications of biological and biomedical data. The event will wrap up with a Community Day, gathering key research communities in biodiversity, pathogen surveillance, and research infrastructures.
