On the fourth day of the INFORMATIK 2026 conference, Morpheus.Lab will host a full-day workshop on the topic of ‘Modelling and Simulation in the Life Sciences’. In addition to multicellular modelling, standard design and model implementations, we will also look closely at repositories, FAIR publication and certification – including aspects such as metadata formats, standardised annotations and repository interconnection – as well as encouraging community work within the biological and medical research community to promote the exchange across relevant modelling formalisms, simulation environments, repository providers and networks.

Picking up on the theme of the event, our workshop addresses digital resilience by strengthening the robustness, interoperability, discoverability and long-term sustainability of models, simulation environments and research infrastructures, achieved through open standards for research data, software and other scientific outputs, FAIR practices, as well as community-driven Trustworthy Digital Repositories (TDRs) and their certification.
