On 11-12 March 2021, the 4th edition of Revolutionizing Next-Generation Sequencing took place. Due to the global pandemic, this edition was for the first time completely virtual. Despite many challenges faced with this virtual setup for organizers as well as for speakers, attendees and sponsors it is safe to say that altogether each participant made RNGS21 once again into a great, immersive conference.

Plant Science for Climate Emergency will take place in our virtual environment, take a look at what you can expect.

The 2021 Galaxy Community Conference is moving to a virtual format.

When live events will return is difficult to predict, but what we can guarantee is that on 22-24 Sept we will hold the 4th edition of Genome Engineering and Synthetic Biology virtually.

Over the past years VIB’s Revolutionizing Next Generation Sequencing conferences have become highly regarded, must-attend meetings in the field.

The virtual VIB Conferences uphold the same quality and finesse as the live conferences. What can you expect from VIB’s virtual conferences? In this article you can find some tips on how to prepare for one of our virtual meetings. Also read what other attendees think about the virtual format.

VIB is looking for the hottest research in the field of next-generation sequencing. So are you pushing the envelope on the possibilities of using this technique in your research field, then submit your abstract and share your insights with key NGS researchers.

Because of the COVID-19 situation, VIB has decided that the first edition of Tumor Heterogeneity, Plasticity and Therapy will be a virtual one. The conference will be held on May 5-6, 2021 and tickets are now available on the conference website. 

On 19 & 20 November, VIB & LifeTime welcomed over 400 people for the very first virtual edition of ‘Emerging Technologies in Single Cell Research’. 24 speakers presented their novel technologies in plenary sessions focused on: Single Cell Epigenomics, Single Cell Multi-Omics, Single Cell Computational Biology, Single Cell Spatial Omics and New Single Cell Technologies to Study Disease.

"Climate change is threatening food security and biodiversity. In this VIB symposium leading scientists will examine how innovative plant science can bring solutions to tackle climate emergency. Very timely and of great significance!" Dirk Inzé - (Science Director - VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology, Organizing Committee).
