JOBIM (Journées Ouvertes en Biologie, Informatique et Mathématiques) is the annual event that brings together the French bioinformatics community, an interdisciplinary science at the interface of biology, computer science, mathematics, statistics and physics.
25 years after its very first edition, and 19 years after the only one held in Bordeaux, this scientific community gathered in Bordeaux from July 08 to 11, on the site of Bordeaux INP's ENSEIRB-MATMECA school. Click here to view the website and program, here.
Co-organized by a large part of LaBRI's BKB team, but also by colleagues from Inria, INRAe, etc., with the support of SFBI (Société Française de Bioinformatique), IFB (Institut Français de Bioinformatique) and the GDR BIMMM, JOBIM brought together 500 people this year in face-to-face sessions and around 100 in remote sessions.
The conference boasted a dense, high-quality scientific program, covering a wide range of multidisciplinary fields. A webinar for the general public was the first part of a mini-symposium entitled "How can we reconcile our bioinformatics activities with planetary limits?", in which the NeS team (from the SeD department) was heavily involved.
