About BOSC: Since 2000, BOSC has provided a forum for sharing ideas and
results in open-source bioinformatics and open science. Our annual two-day
program includes keynote talks, talks chosen from submitted abstracts,
posters, a panel discussion, and more!

🍐BOSC NEWS 🍐
Joint session with BOKR: BOSC 2025 will include a joint session with the
newly renamed Bio-Ontologies and Knowledge Representation (BOKR) COSI
<https://www.open-bio.org/2025/03/17/BOSC-BOKR-2025/>! The joint session
will include talks chosen from abstracts submitted to BOSC or BOKR, plus a
keynote speaker who is well known in both the ontology and open science
communities (stay tuned for an announcement soon!).

Panel: Our panel topic this year will be Data Sustainability. A range of
experts will share their thoughts on this important and timely subject and
take questions from the audience.

ISMB CollaborationFest: This year, our popular collaborative work event (
CollaborationFest
<https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2025/ismb-collaborationfest-2025/>,
aka CoFest) will be held as part of ISMB. Choose it as a free “add-on” when
you register for ISMB.

Submit an abstract!

Abstract submission is open until April 17 (end of the day Anywhere on
Earth - no extensions)! We encourage you to submit abstracts
