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<br><ul><li>5 days of online training (28 June - 2 July)</li><li>a 3 day meeting (6-8 July)<br></li><li>a 2 day CollaborationFest (9-10 July)</li></ul><i>
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. </i> 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!<br>
<div><br></div><div><b>About Galaxy<br></b></div><b>
</b><a href="https://galaxyproject.org/" target="_blank">Galaxy</a>
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.<br>
<div><br></div><div><b>Training Week<br></b></div><div><a href="https://galaxyproject.org/events/gcc2021/training/" target="_blank">Training</a>
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

of social interaction and networking. Talks will be pre-recorded, but
EVERYTHING else, including Q&A will be live. <i>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.<br>
</i><br><b>
Abstract Submission<br></b>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. <a href="https://galaxyproject.org/news/2021-04-gcc-abstracts/" target="_blank"><i>Abstract submissions are due 7 May</i></a>.<br>
