Welcome

We wish you a warm welcome to Padua for the 16th Annual International Biocuration Conference (Biocuration 2023): 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. We are delighted to see participation from academia, government, and industry as well as diverse interest in the tools, methodology, and philosophy of curation that will surely lead to memorable and forward-looking conversations and experiences at the conference.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors, who have been integral towards the execution of the conference and many of its events. We thank the journal DATABASE for hosting a virtual issue corresponding to the conference (https://academic.oup.com/database/pages/biocuration_virtual_issue). We thank F1000 researchers for providing a platform for publishing posters and oral presentations (https://f1000research.com/collections/biocuration).

Finally, we would like to thank the International Society of Biocuration (ISB) for its support. The ISB is a non-profit organization for curators, developers, and researchers with an interest in biocuration. The society promotes the field of biocuration and provides a forum for information exchange through meetings and workshops.

We hope that by attending this meeting, you too will feel welcomed into our biocuration community.

Best wishes, The Biocuration 2023 Organizing Committee
