Attend

BioHackathon Europe is a unique opportunity to collaborate with an international community of bioinformaticians, developers and data experts working at the forefront of life science research. Participants contribute to focused, project-based work that advances open science, from developing tools and standards to improving interoperability and data integration. It’s a highly collaborative environment where ideas are rapidly turned into practical outcomes. Whether you propose a project or join an existing team, BioHackathon offers a space to build, learn and connect with others tackling shared challenges in bioinformatics.
