In 2018, BOSC was held jointly with GCC as a combined GCCBOSC conference. In 2019, BOSC will be part of ISMB/ECCB in Basel. We hope to partner with GCC again in 2020 or 2021. Read more here about why we decided to hold BOSC with GCC in 2018 and ISMB in 2019.

CollaborationFest 2019

2019-07-26 to 2019-07-27

TBA

In recent years, typically before each annual BOSC meeting the OBF has organised an informal two day “Coding Festival”, or OpenBio Codefest. Like similar “Hackathon” (hacking marathon) or programming “Sprint” events, these are programmer orientated and are intended to foster collaborations amongst the international bioinformatics community
