The European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB) is a premier international event dedicated to the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics. Held biannually, ECCB attracts a diverse group of scientists, researchers, and industry professionals from various disciplines, including mathematics, computer science, biology, and medicine.
Key Features:
- Networking Opportunities: ECCB serves as a platform for networking among over 600-800 participants, fostering collaborations and discussions on the latest advancements in the field.
- Scientific Program: The conference includes keynote lectures from leading experts, high-quality scientific presentations, workshops, and poster sessions that cover a wide range of topics such as genomics, proteomics, systems biology, and digital health.
- Themes and Topics: Each edition focuses on contemporary themes relevant to computational biology. For instance, ECCB 2024 centered on "Data and Algorithms for Health and Science," addressing methodological advancements and innovative applications in life sciences.
- Inclusive Environment: The conference promotes an inclusive atmosphere through its Code of Conduct, ensuring a respectful environment for all attendees.
About the ECCB Association
The ECCB Association supports the continuity and long-term development of the European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB). It is a non-profit, tax-exempt association of public benefit under Swiss law, based in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Association is composed of organisers of past ECCB conferences. Its main role is to identify and select strong hosts for future ECCB editions, preserve experience from one conference to the next, and provide advice and continuity to local organising teams. The philosophy is deliberately lightweight: each ECCB should retain its own character and local leadership, while benefiting from the collective experience of the European computational biology community.
The members of the ECCB association are: Laura Elo (President), Christophe Dessimoz (Secretary), Oliver Kohlbacher (Treasurer), Søren Brunak, Salvador Capella-Gutierrez, Artemis Hatzigeorgiou, Jaap Heringa, Michal Linial, Yves Moreau, Tommi Nyrönen, Marie-France Sagot, Torsten Schwede, Alfonso Valencia, Jaak Vilo, Martin Vingron
For questions concerning the Association, future ECCB hosting opportunities or the conference series, please contact the President or Secretary.
