Dear community,
The "Computational Modeling in Biology" Network (COMBINE) is an initiative to coordinate the development of the various community standards and formats in systems biology and related fields. COMBINE 2020 will be a workshop-style online event with oral presentations and breakout sessions. The five meeting days will include talks about the COMBINE standards and associated or related standardization efforts, presentations of tools using these standards as well as tutorials.
Due to the current COVID-19 situation, the on-site meeting in Connecticut (USA) had to be cancelled. Therefore, COMBINE 2020 will be an online (virtual) meeting from October 5th (Monday) to October 9th (Friday). Please save the date! It will provide a schedule which takes into account all time zones around the world, a real 24 hour conference. The meeting will be free of charge.
The scheduling of such a worldwide online conference around the clock is quite complex. The first two days will be talks and presentations including keynote speakers. We will record each talk on Monday and present the video again on Tuesday, together with a live question and answer session with the speaker, at a different time shifted for a different time zone. Wednesday to Friday will be for breakout sessions and tutorials. We would like to ask you to indicate in the registration form your available times for attendance, so we may plan a schedule in which participation is maximized.
Registration will open at the end of July and be kept open until the conference, however, to be able to consider your availability we need your registration before Sept. 1, 2020. Please note that this is a very strict deadline – you can register later, but we will not be able to take your availability into account if you do so. Also, the submission of abstracts for talks, breakouts, and tutorials will also be on Sept. 1, 2020. Please plan accordingly.
The registration and abstract submission forms can be found here before the end of July:
https://co.mbine.org/events/COMBINE_2020
Please register and submit abstracts as soon as you can after the forms are posted and certainly before Sept. 1st, so that we can plan the event better.
If you are new to the COMBINE community, please have a look at the recently published meeting report of our last COMBINE meeting:
The first 10 years of the international coordination network for standards in systems and synthetic biology (COMBINE)
Please share this email with your colleagues and relevant mailing lists.
We look forward to seeing you for COMBINE 2020
Best regards,
The COMBINE Coordinators
