ELIXIR Communities enable the participation of communities of practice in different areas of the life sciences in the activities of ELIXIR, which underpin the evolution of a data, tools, interoperability, compute and training infrastructure for European life science informatics (https://www.elixir-europe.org/use-cases).

Structural bioinformatics has a broad impact across the life sciences and provides tools to archive, visualise, analyse, annotate, and predict the structure of biological macromolecules. Structural bioinformatics is traditionally very strong in Europe offering many software tools, methodologies, and databases, as well as community-wide prediction challenges.

Its applications cover research activities from structural biology to drug discovery and personalised medicine that are all well represented within the national ELIXIR nodes.

The 3D-BioInfo Community was approved by ELIXIR in May 2019. This meeting will be the first official meeting of the community to plan major activities and to identify research groups wishing to contribute to these activities.

Who is this course for?

This workshop is aimed at members and collaborators of the 3D-BioInfo Community.

What will I learn?

Learning outcomes

This workshop will help the 3D-BioInfo Community plan their major activities and identify research groups willing to contribute towards these activities.

Attendance at this workshop is allocated on a first come, first served basis.

The registration fee covers your lunch, refreshments, the workshop dinner and a shuttle between Cambridge Station (Stop 5) and the Wellcome Genome Campus. Accommodation is not included and you will need to make your own arrangements.

Please note that registration closes two weeks prior to the course, so please register as soon as you can. Once you have registered and we have received payment we can provide a letter of support should you require a visa to travel to the UK. Applying for a visa can take several weeks, and it might not be possible to be granted a visa if you register just before the closing date. If you are unable to attend, then please notify us as quickly as possible so that we can offer your place to someone else.

Accommodation is not provided for this workshop and participants will need to arrange this for themselves. We reccommend booking at the Wellcome Genome Campus Conference Centre on site. Please book as early as you can as space can be limited. For other recommendations in the local area please see: //www.ebi.ac.uk/about/contact.

If there is sufficient interest from participants we can arrange a shuttle between Station Road, Cambridge and the campus each day. This will be of use to Cambridge residents or visitors choosing to stay in the city for the duration of the workshop.
