The BioSB 2015 combines the annual Netherlands Bioinformatics Conference (NBIC) and the annual Systems Biology Symposium (SB@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/>. *Subscribe to the BioSB newsletter* to stay up to date about the BioSB 2015 conference and the BioSB research school activities.
