BH23 Call for Participation
How to participate to BH23
In this year, we start a new participation scheme to accelerate collaboration among the groups in the BioHackathon. To make the event more collaborative for all participants within a short time period, we decided to limit the number of hacking topics selected from the given list instead of calling for proposals as in the previous years. It is also because that the BioHackathon in Japan is an event hosted by the Database Center for Life Science (DBCLS), we prioritize research topics that focus on the integrated use of databases in life sciences. All those who aim to join the event will be asked to select “Research interests” and “Technical aspects” from the lists to declare how they can contribute and collaborate with other participants.
The selected participants will be offered any of the following: (A) full financial support, including travel and accommodation; (B) partial financial support, accommodation at the hackathon venue; and (C) invitation to participate (no financial support). Every participant, regardless of their role or type of participation, is required to submit a hacking plan. Only those who are selected by the plan or directly invited by the organizers are allowed to participate in the event.
