*About GCC2021*
The 2021 Galaxy Community Conference
<https://www.vibconferences.be/events/gcc2021-virtual-edition> will take
place in a virtual format from 28 June to 10 July and bring together
clinicians, researchers and students working in data science.  The event
features

   - 5 days of online training (28 June - 2 July)
   - a 3 day meeting (6-8 July)
   - a 2 day CollaborationFest (9-10 July)

* The combination of very low registration, plus content in multiple time
zones (see below for details on both) make this event the most affordable
and accessible GCC ever. * If you are working in data intensive science
(life sciences and beyond), GCC2021 is an ideal conference to share your
work, learn from others, and find new collaborators.  We look forward to
meeting you there!


*About Galaxy*
Galaxy <https://galaxyproject.org/> is an open data integration and
analysis platform used and supported by a global community of researchers,
bioinformaticians, developers, infrastructure providers, and trainers, all
doing and supporting data intensive research  Galaxy was originally
developed to support life science research, but is now used in multiple
fields including computational chemistry and molecular modelling, climate
modeling, social science, and natural language processing.


*Training Week*
Training <https://galaxyproject.org/events/gcc2021/training/> will run for
5 days, from 28 June through 2 July.  This will be an online event,
spanning all time zones. All training sessions are pre-recorded, so you can
work through them at your own pace, and manage your own time. A large
community of GTN trainers will be  available 24/7 online support to answer
all your questions on Slack.

Training Week features 3 tracks:

   1. Galaxy for Scientists
   <https://galaxyproject.org/events/gcc2021/training/#science-track>
   2. Galaxy for Developers
   <https://galaxyproject.org/events/gcc2021/training/#developer-track>
   3. Galaxy for Administrators
   <https://galaxyproject.org/events/gcc2021/training/#admin-track>
   (enrollment is limited)



*GCC2021 Meeting*
The conference includes a 3 day meeting, 8-10 July, and features accepted
talks, Q&A, poster/demos, sponsors, birds-of-a-feather sessions, and lots
of social interaction and networking.  Talks will be pre-recorded, but
EVERYTHING else, including Q&A will be live.
*All material will be presented twice each day, once in the original
Central European time zone, and then again 9 hours later in the Americas. *

* Abstract Submission*Talks and poster/demo presentations will be selected
from abstract submissions. Talks can be either full (15-20 minutes) or
lightning (5-7 minutes). We welcome submissions that use, implement or
extend the Galaxy platform and ecosystem, including integrating and
analyzing datasets in any research area, enhancing reproducibility in
computational analyses, and fostering collaboration in scientific workflow
development. *Abstract submissions are due 7 May*
<https://galaxyproject.org/news/2021-04-gcc-abstracts/>.

* Registration*
Registration rates are very affordable
<https://galaxyproject.org/news/2021-04-gcc-reg/>, with deep discounts for
researchers and students, and especially for researchers and students in
developing economies.  Early registration rates for students in developing
economies start at €3.25 for Training Week, and €6.00 for the meeting (plus
VAT). In addition students and researchers for developing countries can
also apply for GCC2021 Fellowship
<https://galaxyproject.org/news/2021-04-gcc-fellowships/> from the Galaxy
Community Fund (apply by 7 May).  *Early registration ends 1 June.*
