DESCRIPTION:This meeting will discuss a proposed new ELIXIR Community in St
 ructural Bioinformatics – 3DBioInfo.ELIXIR Communities enable the parti
 cipation of communities of practice in different areas of the life science
 s in the activities of ELIXIR\, which underpin the evolution of a data\, t
 ools\, interoperability\, compute and training infrastructure for European
  life science informatics (see  https://www.elixir-europe.org/use-cases).
  ELIXIR supports its formally recognised Communities by providing funding 
 for workshops and short collaborative projects associated with the Communi
 ty.\n\nStructural bioinformatics has a broad impact across the life scienc
 es and provides tools to archive\, visualise\, analyse\, annotate\, and pr
 edict molecular structures. The science of structural bioinformatics is tr
 aditionally very strong in Europe offering many software tools\, methodolo
 gies\, and databases\, as well as community-wide prediction challenges. It
 s applications cover research activities from structural biology to drug d
 iscovery and personalised medicine that are all well represented within th
 e national ELIXIR nodes.\n\nAt the meeting we will have presentations from
  structural bioinformatics groups engaged in or planning ELIXIR endorsed a
 ctivities around structure based analyses and prediction methods. There wi
 ll also be presentations from other ELIXIR communities with related intere
 sts and from ELIXIR platforms with guidance on how structural bioinformati
 cs groups can collaborate with ELIXIR support. Importantly\, we will have 
 a session planning the activities and aims that will form the basis of a w
 hite paper to submit to the ELIXIR hub for endorsement as a Community in S
 tructural Bioinformatics.\n\nThis meeting will be held on Friday 19th Octo
 ber\, the day after the SWISS-MODEL 25th Anniversary Symposium\, being hel
 d at the same venue. It is not necessary to register for the SWISS-MODEL 
 meeting to attend the 3D-BioInfo meeting. \n\nThe meeting will start at 1
 0.00 am and end at 5.30pm.\n\nThere will be a cost of 50 CHF to register f
 or the meeting.\n\nThe meeting will be capped at 100 participants so pleas
 e register soon to avoid disappointment.\n\nFull details\, including how t
 o register can be found here:  https://swissmodel.expasy.org/25years/eli
 xir\n\nCall for abstracts and posters: If you would like to give a flash t
 alk (one slide) to advertise a poster at the meeting on a proposed ELIXIR 
 activity (involving collaborations across two or more groups within an ELI
 XIR node and preferably involving two or more nodes) please send a summary
  (maximum one page) to c.orengo@ucl.ac.uk outlining the groups and ELIXIR
  nodes involved and the ELIXIR platforms this activity would relate to i.e
 . interoperability\, data\, tools\, compute or training. The proposed acti
 vity should ideally involve two or more platforms.  \n\nDeadline for the
  abstracts: September 30th\n\nIdeas presented at the meeting will be consi
 dered for inclusion in the application to become an ELIXIR Community. \n\
