*Birds of a Feather sessions*
After the success of last year we decided to again organise Birds of a
Feather (BoF) sessions
<https://www.aanmelder.nl/biosb2015/wiki/93731/birds%20of%20a%20feather%20sessions>.
The sessions are planned on* May 21*, in the afternoon. The aim of a BoF
session is to discuss a topic of your choice in an informal setting. The
BoF topics will be announced via the conference website so participants
will be able to join the session that interests them most. If you are
interested in submitting a topic for a BoF session, please send an e-mail
to Patrick Kemmeren <patrick.kemmeren at umcutrecht.nl>!

*Industry meeting at the BioSB 2015*

Industrial User Platform will organise a BIUP meeting
<https://www.aanmelder.nl/biosb2015/wiki/93724/biup%20meeting> specifically
aimed at conference participants from industry. The meeting is planned on *May
21*, during the Birds of a Feather sessions. The meeting will include two
talks on practical insights from industrial participants of Oxford
Nanopore’s MinION early access program. On *May 20* a parallel session
on Bioinf
and SysBio in practice: industrial & medical applications
<https://www.aanmelder.nl/biosb2015/wiki/93733/parallel%20session%20h%3a%20bioinf%20and%20sysbio%20in%20practice>
is planned with talks selected by abstract submission.

<https://www.aanmelder.nl/biosb2015/wiki/93715/elixir-isbe%20session> on *May
21* the 'Challenges of Data Stewardship' will be presented and discussed.
After a short introduction on data stewardship, and FAIR data a Questions
and Discussion session with the theme: 'Data stewardship is not as easy as
many of us think' is planned. In the afternoon short updates on ELIXIR-NL
and ISBE are planned. Additional information follows shortly.

*BioSB 2015 on Twitter*
On Twitter we will use the hashtag: *#BioSB2015* and updates will be
tweeted via @BioSB_nl <https://twitter.com/biosb_nl>.

*BioSB 2015: Merging two research fields*
BioSB 2015 will be the first in a series of yearly organised Dutch
Bioinformatics & Systems Biology (BioSB) conferences focusing on both
bioinformatics and systems biology research. The BioSB 2015 combines the
annual Netherlands Bioinformatics Conference (NBIC) and the annual Systems
Biology Symposium (SB at NL). Because of the success of the NBIC conference
format in the past, the BioSB conference will be organised in the familiar
style: a 2-day conference at Congrescentrum De Werelt in Lunteren. The
BioSB 2015 will be co-organised by the BioSB research school
<http://www.biosb.nl/> and the Utrecht Bioinformatics Center
<http://ubc.uu.nl/>.
