BioHackathon Europe

A round table of diverse people hackingEach year, since 2018, ELIXIR organises BioHackathon Europe, bringing together bioinformaticians from around the world. 

The BioHackathon offers an intense week of hacking, with over 160 international participants, to work on diverse and exciting projects. The week starts with a half-day symposium to introduce these, followed by five days of hacking with one sole aim — coding to address challenges in bioinformatics.

The first BioHackathon Europe took place in Paris in 2018. It was based on the BioHackathons that The National Bioscience Database Center (NBDC) and Database Center for Life Science (DBCLS) have organized in Japan since 2008 (see their BioHackathon website).
