The activities of this BioHackaton are composed of practical sessions where people gather, discuss, and implement ideas and projects during intensive and productive coding sessions.

The main goals are to (i) advance the development of an open source infrastructure for data integration to accelerate scientific innovation; and (ii) engage people in the bioinformatics community to work together on topics of common interest and strengthen the interactions between them and the ELIXIR platforms.

The theme for this congress is "Biologically inspired technology-driven regenerative medicine". Participants will have the opportunity to choose between 9 parallel thematic sessions for which they can submit abstracts to give an oral and poster presentation.

The program also consists of a number of special sessions, including national societies sessions, lunch workshops, and more.

Deadline for abstract submission: 31st January 2021
