Abstract
The European Bioinformatics Community for Mass Spectrometry (EuBIC-MS) is a EuPA initiative that was started in November 2015. Since then, it brings together people from the bioinformatics community who work on mass spectrometry (MS) data to provide an open, collaborative and constructive environment. It is carried enthusiastically by the bioinformatics and MS community and welcomes everyone who is willing to contribute.EuBIC-MS hosts an annual conference focused on computational MS, uniting leading bioinformatics researchers, early-career scientists, and industry professionals from omics fields such as proteomics and metabolomics. This event alternates each year between a Winter School, featuring keynote lectures and hands-on workshops, and a Developers Meeting, centered on hackathons. In addition to the main conference, EuBIC-MS offers workshops at various MS and proteomics conferences and actively contributes to bioinformatics hubs at these events. Along with organizing and being present at events, EuBIC-MS also has several community driven projects. Our poster will describe the main activities of EuBIC including the upcoming Developers Meeting in the beginning of 2025, give an overview of the active community projects, and provide information about how to become a member and contribute to EuBIC-MS.
