The 16th Annual International Biocuration Conference provides a forum for curators, developers, and users of clinical and life sciences data, knowledge, and models to discuss their work, promote collaboration, and foster the community around this active and growing area of research. Participants from academia, government, and industry interested in the tools, methodology, and philosophy of curation in the clinical and life sciences are encouraged to attend and submit an abstract for consideration for an oral or poster presentation. This conference is organized in part with the International Society of Biocuration (ISB).
Following the virtual installments of the Annual International Biocuration Conference in 2021 and 2022 due to the pandemic, we are pleased to announce that in 2023 we will return to a fully in-person (i.e., no remote options) meeting in Padua, Italy from Monday, April 24th (1:00PM CEST) to Wednesday, April 26th, 2023 (3:30PM CEST) (📅 ics). Conference workshops will be held on the afternoon of Sunday, April 23rd and the morning of Monday, April 24th.
Please note that April 25th, 2023 is a national holiday in Italy and therefore schools, banks, public offices, and some shops will be closed. Additionally, public transportation will be running at reduced capacity (i.e., weekend schedule).
