de.NBI Cloud

Cloud Computing for Life Sciences

6th de.NBI Cloud User Meeting 2023 - Registration Open

For more than 5 years the de.NBI Cloud has provided free of charge computing resources to the life sciences community in Germany. Scientists involved in various research topics, such as metagenomics, medical imaging, epigenetics, and plant biology benefit from the opportunities provided by the de.NBI Cloud. This year, we are again organizing the de.NBI Cloud user meeting as an in-person event at the DJH Youth Hostel in Bielefeld, Germany from November 27th - 29th, 2023. Participation is free of charge, but attendees are responsible for their own travel and accommodation arrangements.
