The SIB days are the internal scientific conference of the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and a unique opportunity for the Swiss bioinformatics community to connect. SIB represents the scientific diversity of Swiss bioinformatics and brings together more than 80 computational biology-centered groups. Every two years, the institute holds a 2-day conference, the SIB days, that usually attracts between 350-400 attendees. It’s ambition? To create an opportunity to meet, update each other on the best research projects within the community (many of which are intra-SIB collaborations) and to keep up with the latest advances on the Swiss bioinformatics front. Interactivity is deeply rooted in the SIB days, whether you are a new member or a regular at SIB days, everything will be done to ensure you feel welcome and make the most of this conference, on the science and networking fronts.
