Bioinformatics bridges engineering, computer science, and biology. We define it broadly to encompass:

• Genomics Medical imaging (i.e. radiology, digital pathology)


• AI-driven protein research Medical informatics and med-tech


• ...Any field at the intersection of life sciences and technology that has a FOSS angle

We invite proposals from developers, researchers, and any enthusiasts working with open source tools in the life sciences. Whether you're from academia, industry, or the public sector, we want to hear about:

- Best practices and emerging approaches FOSS projects and tools (technical presentation)
- Workflow Management & HPC (tutorials and demos are OK)
- Reproducibility and open science (best practices)
- Software Engineering and UX
- AI & Machine Learning applications
- Visualization and interactive tools

We especially encourage submissions that:

• Address practical challenges with real-world solutions


• Cover the biological context driving computational choices


• Showcase cross-disciplinary collaboration


• Highlight lessons learned from FOSS development in life sciences

Note: All talks will be live-streamed and recorded (audio+video). By submitting, you agree to being recorded and that your content will be published under a Creative Commons (CC-BY) license.
