Subject: HARMONY 2021 - registration open and call for breakouts and lightning talks
To: CellML Discussion List <cellml-d...@cellml.org>
Hi all,
The Computational Modeling in Biology Network (COMBINE) is an initiative to coordinate the development of the various community standards and formats in systems biology, synthetic biology and related fields. HARMONY is a codefest-type meeting, with a focus on development of the standards, interoperability and infrastructure. There are generally not many general discussions or oral presentations during HARMONY; instead, the time is devoted to allowing hands-on hacking and interaction between people focused on practical development of software and standards.
HARMONY 2021 will be an online only meeting similar to COMBINE 2020 (http://co.mbine.org/events/COMBINE_2020). Most of the day will be scheduled by the communities as breakouts. In addition, we will have some time each day for community discussion and wrap-ups of breakouts and advertisements for following breakouts.
Full details can be found at: http://co.mbine.org/events/HARMONY_2021
IMPORTANT DATES
---------------
Breakout submission deadline: 23rd Feb 2021
Lightning talk submission deadline: 23rd Feb 2021
Notification of acceptance of breakouts: 1st March 2021
HARMONY Workshop: 22-26th March 2021
REGISTRATION
------------------
Registration for the meeting is open and is free. Please register at the link below as soon as possible. This will help us plan the schedule and match your interests to the timing of the breakouts, etc. Note: only registered attendees will be sent information related to video conferencing links, etc.
Registration: https://forms.gle/U6SHJyowQnwJ7fmb8
CALL FOR BREAKOUT SESSIONS
------------------
All attendees can suggest breakout sessions for hacking and/or detailed discussions of certain aspects of one or several of the COMBINE standard(s), metadata and semantic annotations (format-specific or overarching), application and implementations of the COMBINE standards, or any other topic relevant for the COMBINE community. The topics for those breakout sessions, and the time slots which would suit their communities can be submitted at the link below.
Note: breakout session organisers will be responsible for creating and hosting their own online sessions.

CALL FOR LIGHTNING TALKS
------------------
Requests for a lightning talk (3 min max.) can be submitted via the form below. Please use several forms if you want to submit abstracts on different topics. The submission deadline is outlined above. Talks will take place during the community session.
