Bioconductor

Application to host the European Bioconductor Conference (EuroBioC) 2025-

Please fill the form below before August 31, 2024 if you are interested in hosting the European Bioconductor Conference in 2025, or if you think that you might be interested in hosting it in the future and would like to join the planning committee to gain more experience with the process. Hosting EuroBioC is a great way to increase the exposure of Bioconductor in your local community, increase the visibility of the computational biology research in your area, and influence the program of the conference, all in a supportive environment. The target dates (typically 3 days) for EuroBioC2025 would be in September or early October 2025. The responsibilities of the local organizer include: assembling a local organization committee (including a local contact for the Code of Conduct committee) planning the overall budget for the conference identifying and booking a suitable venue - typically a large conference room (~100-150 persons) and a few smaller rooms for workshops and discussion sessions, plus space for breaks/poster sessions organizing a conference dinner and catering for coffee/lunch breaks participating in approximately biweekly conference calls with the program committee identifying potential local sponsors organizing travel and accommodation for keynote speakers suggesting (regional) keynote speakers organizing internet access, power strips, badges etc for participants As a local organizer, you will join and be supported by the planning/program committee (which includes organizers of previous European Bioconductor conferences), whose responsibilities include: setting up and managing the abstract submission system reviewing submissions, notifying submitters, assembling the program suggesting (global) keynote speakers, deciding on and inviting keynote speakers (considering suggestions from local organizer) setting up registration system planning and managing scholarships identifying and contacting sponsors (in collaboration with the local organizer) setting up and managing the conference website managing financial transactions (this can potentially be done by the European Bioconductor Society, but will be discussed on a case-by-case basis) If you have any questions, feel free to send an email to the EuroBioC organization committee at [email protected].
