The 2017 EuBIC Winter School on proteomics bioinformatics sponsored by the European Proteomics Association (EuPA) will bring together scientists in the field of proteomics and bioinformatics for proteomics. It is organized by the European Bioinformatics Community (EuBIC), an initiative of the European Proteomics Association (EuPA) for user-oriented bioinformatics.
The winter school will start with an educational day dedicated to workshops and trainings in established proteomics tools and workflows. In addition, a dedicated hackathon will be organized, where bioinformaticians will be invited to improve their programming skills and methods together in an open, constructive, and productive atmosphere.
Besides these practical sessions on the first day, internationally renowned invited speakers will give lectures and practical workshops covering the aspects of identification, quantification, result interpretation, and integration of MS proteomics data. This year’s special topic is the biological interpretation of proteomics data, that will be covered in talks from specialists in pathway and network analysis.

Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to present their scientific work in poster sessions and selected flash talks.

The EuBIC Winter School will consist of
• Keynote talks of invited speakers
• Poster presentations
• Flash talks
• Workshops and hackathons
• Educational day
