EMBnet AGM, workshop report, Lyon 2014Abstract
EMBnet’s 2014 AGM and associated events were hosted in Lyon, France, from 26 to 30 May. This 26th formal meeting of EMBnet provided an opportunity both to partner with the Bioinformatics for Environmental Genomics workshop of the Pluridisciplinary Thematic Network in Environmental Genomics, and to review progress since the silver anniversary meeting in Valencia last year.
The past year has been another busy one, much of our time being devoted to supporting our allied research projects, initiatives and affiliates (SeqAhead, AllBio, GOBLET, ISCB), alongside the routine work of running the Stichting. In this report, we begin by reviewing some of the year’s principal efforts to build on these initiatives and affiliations, we make a critical analysis of EMBnet’s current status, and we conclude with a summary of the workshop’s main conclusions.
