Gathering to tackle the most pressing challenges in the field

Conferences

Every year, SIB alternates between one of two biennial conferences; The Swiss Bioinformatic Summit - the SIB days which brings together SIB’s lively community to share the latest developments in bioinformatics and the [BC]2 Basel Computational Biology Conference, Switzerland's leading event in the domain gathering experts in academia, industry, and healthcare from around the world. In addition to these flagship conferences, SIB also supports and participates in scientific events to promote SIB Resources and discoveries.
