Abstract submission

We encourage you to submit abstracts
<https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2023/submit/> (due April 20 – sorry,
no extensions) on any topic relevant to open source bioinformatics or open
science (see topic list below). After review, some abstracts will be
selected for lightning talks, longer talks, or posters. A second “late
poster” round of submissions will end May 18.

Abstract submission is via ISMB’s EasyChair (linked from our submission page
<https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2023/submit/>). Note that ISMB
requires a short (200-word) text-only abstract for all submissions (talk or
poster), plus a “long abstract” (PDF, 2 pages max) if you want to be
considered for a talk.

About BOSC

Since 2000, the Bioinformatics Open Source Conference
<https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2021/about/> has provided a forum for
developers and users to interact and share research results and ideas in
open source bioinformatics and open science.
As usual, BOSC 2023 <https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2023/> will
include keynote talks, longer and shorter (lightning) talks from submitted
abstracts, posters, Birds of a Feather, and more! Like last year, BOSC and
Bio-Ontologies
<https://www.bio-ontologies.org.uk/ismb-annual-meeting/2023-meeting> will
join forces for a joint session.

   Open Biomedical Data
   -

   Citizen/Participatory Science
   -

   Standards and Interoperability

Registration fee assistance

We realize that the cost of ISMB may be prohibitive for some. If you are
submitting an abstract to BOSC and would have difficulty covering the cost
of registration, you can request to be considered for a registration fee
waiver right on the abstract submission form (your request will not be seen
by reviewers). Fee waivers are made possible by our sponsors
<https://www.open-bio.org/events/sponsors/>.

Sponsors

We welcome the first Silver sponsors
