⚠ Call disclaimer – Main event & Students event
The calls for the XV Bioinformatics Symposium and the X Students Symposium are independent, analysed by different Scientific Committees. You can read more about the JBI2025 Scientific Committee and the X BSS Scientific Committee in their respective pages.
You can submit your abstract to both JBI2025 and the X Bioinformatics Student Symposium. However, if your abstract gets selected for a JBI2025 talk, you will only be able to present it as a poster in the Student Symposium.
In case of participating in both events, you will need to upload your contribution to the EasyChair platform TWICE: one at the JBI2025 track and one at the XBSS track.
⚠ Call disclaimer – Extension on JBI2025 calls
We heard you! We are aware that Bioinformatics takes some time to get done. Summer is also a hard time to get things finished. That’s why we have extended the deadlines of all JBI2025 calls until July 1st, 2025.
