Abstract

The 2017 EuBIC Winter School was held from January 10th to January 13th 2017 in Semmering, Austria. This meeting gathered international researchers in the fields of bioinformatics and proteomics to discuss current challenges in data analysis and biological interpretation. This article outlines the scientific program and exchanges that took place on this occasion and presents the current challenges of this ever-growing field. Biological significanceThe EUPA bioinformatics community (EuBIC) organized its first winter school in January 2017. This successful event illustrates the growing need of the bioinformatics community in proteomics to gather and discuss current and future challenges in the field. In addition to the organization of yearly meetings, the young and active EuBIC community aims to develop new collaborative open source projects, spread bioinformatics knowledge in Europe, and actively promote data sharing through public repositories.

Highlights

The 2019 EuBIC Winter School on proteomics bioinformatics, held from January 15th to January 18th 2019 in Zakopane, Poland, was the third conference of its kind organised by the European Bioinformatics Community (EuBIC, [1,2]), an initiative of the European Proteomics Association (EuPA) for user-oriented bioinformatics
For the Bingo, each participant had a number of words and events to cross out, which might occur in a talk (“open data”, “I would like to thank...”, “somebody starts clapping too early”, “presentation with font too small to read”)
As the main social event of the Winter School, a pub quiz with questions concerning proteomics and informatics with free drinks was hosted by the organizers at a local venue in Zakopane

Summary

Introduction

The 2019 EuBIC Winter School on proteomics bioinformatics, held from January 15th to January 18th 2019 in Zakopane, Poland, was the third conference of its kind organised by the European Bioinformatics Community (EuBIC, [1,2]), an initiative of the European Proteomics Association (EuPA) for user-oriented bioinformatics. The Winter School brought together scientists from both academia and industry in the field of computational mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics to present and discuss their research in workshops, keynote lectures, flash talks and poster presentations. For the Bingo, each participant had a number of words and events to cross out, which might occur in a talk (“open data”, “I would like to thank...”, “somebody starts clapping too early”, “presentation with font too small to read”). This Bingo culminated on the final day with a “BINGO” shout mid- session as a participant completed his version by crossing off “Speaker offers post-doc position”.
