The Combine 2020 schedule has been released for this year’s online virtual meeting. Due to the current COVID-19 situation, COMBINE 2020 will be an online (virtual) meeting from October 5th (Monday) to October 9th (Friday). Organizers are providing a robust schedule that takes into account all time zones around the world, a real 24 hour conference.

The “Computational Modeling in Biology” Network (COMBINE) is an initiative to coordinate the development of the various community standards and formats in systems biology and related fields. COMBINE 2020 will be a workshop-style online event with oral presentations and breakout sessions. The 5 meeting days will include talks about the COMBINE standards and associated or related standardization efforts, presentations of tools using these standards, breakout sessions for detailed discussions as well as tutorials.

Registration to this virtual meeting will be free to those who register. For more information, please visit the COMBINE website – http://co.mbine.org/events/COMBINE_2020.
