After the successful 1st BioHackathon Germany, ELIXIR Germany and de.NBI are organizing the 2nd BioHackathon Germany from 11-15 December 2023 in Bielefeld at Hotel Bielefelder Hof. We hope to encourage de.NBI / ELIXIR Germany and non-de.NBI / ELIXIR Germany participants to take part, as well as attract industry engagement.We are planning to hold the BioHackathon Germany F2F with additional remote access - available for those who cannot attend the meeting in person. Last year, this hybrid format was very successful and allowed everyone to participate in the BioHackathon Germany. Seats are limited for face-to-face participation. The registration is based on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration will be opened after the project selection.

SCOPE
BioHackathon Germany activities are driven by dynamic sessions where life scientists gather, discuss, and implement ideas and projects during intensive and productive coding sessions. The selected topics need to be aligned to challenges proposed by de.NBI / ELIXIR Germany and their service centers and units.

GOALS
- Engage technical people in the bioinformatics community inside and outside de.NBI / ELIXIR Germany to work together on topics of common interest aligned to de.NBI and ELIXIR Germany activities
- Strengthen the interactions with de.NBI / ELIXIR Germany service centers and units to establish and reinforce collaborations through hands-on programming activities.

CALL FOR PROJECT PROPOSALS
Submit your project proposals by Email to contact@denbi.de ahead of the deadline of 30 June 2023. The proposal should not be longer than 500 words and should include two projects leads / contact persons, a project draft and how it is aligned to challenges proposed by de.NBI / ELIXIR Germany and their service centers and units.
