The Australian Outpost of BioHackathon Europe is back for 2023!
Do you want to join this year’s BioHackathon Europe but can’t make it to Barcelona? Like we did in 2022, we’re putting together a team who will join from Australia, working with the international participants in their timezone - but from a city closer to home.
This is a unique opportunity to participate in a significant global event and network with your international peers while working intensively on practical coding challenges. We will fly you to Brisbane to work together in a hotel for the duration of ELIXIR’s BioHackathon: 30 Oct to 3 Nov 2023. Participation will require working in the evening, so we will keep the late-night hacking vibes going by linking up live with the team in Barcelona (5pm until about midnight) and enjoying Spanish foods as if we were there!
Projects we’ll be working on:
BioHackathon participation aims to:
Advance the development of an open source infrastructure for data integration to accelerate scientific innovation
Engage technical people in the bioinformatics community to work together on topics of common interest
Strengthen interactions, establish and reinforce collaborations through hands-on programming activities.
Alert us asap if you are interested in joining the Australian Outpost of the BioHackathon Europe, including which project/s would you like to participate in and why? When we get a feel for who is interested we will select a team of people and organise our meetup. No need to register for a place on the BioHackathon Europe website - they have reserved places for the Australian Outpost.
Please submit your expression of interest to christina@biocommons.org.au by close of business 11 Sep 2023.
