Let's do this Biohackathon together!

Are you interested in joining this year’s Biohackathon Europe from home? We are too, but we know the time zone clash is simply awful. Remote working has seen many of us grabbing more opportunities to participate in meetings and events across the globe. There are so many great things to do with international colleagues, but they often result in very late nights and early mornings.

In recognition of how draining and lonely this can be, we’d like to join forces with you to support each other during the late nights. Let us know if you register for the Biohackathon Europe and we'll provide snacks and a way to keep in touch when your eyelids are getting heavy.

Expand your bioinformatics community by meeting your international peers and working intensively on practical coding challenges. It's free to join and the project descriptions are available for you to chose from. Of particular interest to the BioCommons community: Project 33: Implementation, testing and training on reference genome assembly pipelines for the eukaryotic tree of life and Project 38: Single Cell Multi-Omics Analysis.

The event is 8-12 November in CEST timezone, and registration closes on 17 September.

So please sign up now and let us know if you're going!
