This year we will continue working together to describe and explore digital infrastructure challenges facing anyone using genomics in their research or work and identify solutions to work more efficiently.

Quarterly community meetings will be held via Zoom. These meetings provide a forum for community members to:

• Share their experiences and challenges with using genomics in the digital space, i.e. data analysis,

• Share knowledge, make connections, and collaborate,

• Learn more about recent developments in bioinformatics that impact genomics, 

• Discuss potential solutions and best practices, and,

• Learn about relevant services and offerings from BioCommons and partners.

We encourage anyone working with genomics to attend these meetings. Further information on how to join the meeting and the topics that we’ll discuss can be found in the agenda.

The 2025 meetings will be held on Wednesdays from 1:00 to 2:30 pm on the following dates:

Wednesday, 5th March, 13:00 - 14:30 AEDT
