BOSC 2019
From Open Bioinformatics Foundation
In 2018, BOSC was held jointly with GCC as a combined GCCBOSC conference. In 2019, BOSC will be part of ISMB/ECCB in Basel. We hope to partner with GCC again in 2020 or 2021. [Read more https://news.open-bio.org/2018/08/02/taking-turns/ here about why we decided to hold BOSC with GCC in 2018 and ISMB in 2019.]
