Submissions
Call for abstracts
Submission types
Short talk
Around 10 min short talk immediately followed by questions, focused on a package, or on a research or technological question that motivates software development. Presentations seeking collaboration or input from the community are encouraged.
Poster
Classical portrait printed A0-poster to be showcased during poster session.
Workshop
Around 1.5 hour hands-on interactive workshop illustrating the use of a software package or workflow, where participants are expected to have the time and opportunity to follow along and perform analysis themselves.
Flash talk
Flash talks are very short presentations (5 min or less) that may be submitted up until the day of the session, granted on a first come, first served basis.
Slides must be either publicly accessible online or uploaded to a shared Google Drive. Presenters will not be allowed to connect their own laptop. We advise presenters to keep presentations simple (e.g., avoid animations where possible).
Conference delegates already scheduled to present a short talk or poster are welcome to submit flashtalks.
Birds-of-a-feather
Birds-of-a-feather sessions are free-format, organizer-lead interactive discussions on a topic relevant to the Bioconductor community. Birds-of-a-feather sessions should be proposed before the beginning of the conference, by filing an issue in https://github.com/Bioconductor/EuroBioC2026.
In the issue, please provide information about the plan and intended outcomes of the session, as well as the name and contact information of the organizer(s). You may refer to https://github.com/Bioconductor/EuroBioC2025/issues for examples submitted last year.
Pre-conference workshops
On-site workshops on June 1–2, 2026, in Turku, Finland, prior to the main conference. Please note that these workshops are separate from the main conference workshops.
If you’re interested in hosting a workshop, please submit your interest. Selections will be based on relevance and alignment with the workshop and conference themes.
