Conference schedule

The five-day programme will begin with the main conference, held on-site from Monday to Wednesday, 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!

A public lecture in French on Monday afternoon, 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.

On Thursday 3 September, participants can join tutorials and workshops as well as the European ISCB Student Council Symposium (ESCS).

The event will wrap up with a Communities Day, gathering key research communities in biodiversity, pathogen surveillance, and research infrastructures.
