Introduction to SBW2024

The Swedish Bioinformatics Workshop has been an annual event since 2000, and is hosted by different Swedish universities each year. It is the largest gathering of bioinformaticians and computational biologists in Sweden. The event is targeted at and organized by PhD students and postdocs, but it's open to everyone working with any kind of bioinformatics or computational biology.

The Swedish Bioinformatics Workshop 2024 (SBW 2024) was an event that brought together researchers, students, and professionals from across Sweden to explore the latest advancements in bioinformatics. Held at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, the workshop featured keynote presentations, hands-on workshops, and networking sessions. The SBW2024 was part of the Nordic Computational Biology (Nordic CompBio) week and open to participants from other Nordic countries. Visit Nordic CompBio for more information on other regional programs, and future events.

We welcomed a total of 205 participants on site. Additionally, 318 attendees registered for virtual participation, making SBW 2024 a hybrid meeting that reached a wide audience within Sweden, the Nordics and the world.
