*Dear COMBINE 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, synthetic biology and related fields.
HARMONYis 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 meetingsimilar to COMBINE 2020
(http://co.mbine.org/events/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

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.
