25th European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB 2026)

For the first time, Geneva will host the 25th European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB 2026), organized by the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics. From 31 August to 4 September 2026, leading researchers will gather to explore the latest advancements in genomics, structural bioinformatics, systems biology, biodiversity, and more. Under the theme "Biodiversity, AI & Health: computational biology to address the challenges of our time", ECCB 2026 will highlight how computational biology drives innovation and addresses global challenges. The five-day programme will begin with pre-conference tutorials & workshops and the European ISCB Student Council Symposium (ESCS), leading up to an evening public lecture introducing the impact and challenges of bioinformatics to a wide audience. The main conference will span three days, featuring keynotes, proceedings and highlight talks, an ELIXIR Track, poster sessions, and an exhibition area. The event will conclude with a Community Day, bringing together key research communities in biodiversity, pathogen surveillance, and research infrastructures. With cutting-edge science, hands-on learning, and dynamic networking, ECCB 2026 promises to be a unique and impactful edition of the conference. We look forward to seeing you in Geneva!
