Announcing the 2025 OpenVT Multicellular Modelling Workshop at the Annual Society of Mathematical Biology (SMB) meeting
We are pleased to announce the 2025 OpenVT Workshop on Multiscale Model Sharing and Reproducibility, being held as a satellite meeting of the Society of Mathematical Biology (SMB) meeting, on July 13th 2025 at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta Canada. Building complex multicellular agent-based biological simulations (virtual tissues) in a sharable, extensible and reproducible way is challenging but critical to advancing research and enhancing deployment. This one day workshop will offer tutorials on using popular multicellular modelling frameworks which support rapid simulation construction and distribution and a multicellular model reproducibility hackathon which will explore best practice for model design and distribution. For more details and to sign-up see: https://forms.gle/2uBjsVUMXEwngVwF6.
Announcing the 2025 OpenVT Reproducible Agent-Based Multicellular Model Competition
We are pleased to announce the inaugural 2025 OpenVT Reproducible Agent-Based Multicellular Model Competition promoting FAIR, reproducible, and reusable multicellular simulations. Models must be published in a refereed journal on or after January 1, 2023 and publicly distributed. For detailed instructions and to submit your model visit: https://forms.gle/7u7tNj2mE5p9yytd8. Deadline for submissions is March 31, 2025. For questions about the competition contact: openv...@gmail.com . Winners will be invited to present in the GLIMPRINT’s virtual seminar series.
We also encourage applicants to also consider submitting their models to the BioModels Model of the Year Competition https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biomodels/competition/model-of-the-year-2025
