RO-Crate and Bioschemas at ELIXIR Biohackathon (Barcelona in November)

The ELIXIR Biohackathon https://biohackathon-europe.org/ is an annual event that is open to developers and bioinformaticians. While many attending are affiliated to an ELIXIR Node, this is not a requirement to join.

I have attended the Biohackathon several times, and it has always been immensely productive, exciting and a great way to bridge across institutions, projects and countries. For collaborative virtual projects like ours it is also a great opportunity to meet in person and make common progress both on technology and strategy.

And it's not all about the projects, people often find ad-hoc ideas that are prototyped in the corner with collaboration across the hackathon projects.
I hope some of you may be excited to join us this year!

Where: Barcelona, Spain
When: 30 Oct 2023 - 3 Nov 2023

Virtual participation is also welcome and was quite popular last year, although the most benefits come from being in person.

You are all welcome to join any of these hackathon projects!  Please indicate in the registration which one you prefer.

Registration is now open, but places go fast!
