Dear all,
registrations are now open for the 4th BioInference conference (https://bioinference.github.io/2025/), which is taking place in Bardonecchia, a town in the Alps near Turin, Italy, on the 28th-30th May 2025.
Launched in 2022, BioInference aims to bring together researchers from across statistics and mathematical modelling who work with (broadly defined/intended) biological systems, to foster discussions and prompt collaborations between the two communities at all career stages.
If you would like to attend the conference, please sign up by the 14th April (tickets are limited and on a first come first served basis) at https://bioinference.github.io/registrationhttps://bioinference.github.io/registration/
Note that the registration is considered completed and successful only after having paid the €185 registration fee (covering three lunches, all coffee breaks and one dinner) and the accommodation fee (which is highly recommended, but not mandatory). May is the low season in Bardonecchia, so most of the hotels are closed. However, we secured single and double rooms in two partner hotels, Hotel Rivèhttps://www.hotelrive.it/ and Hotel Cà Fiorehttps://www.cafiore.it/, 100m apart, to favour further networking among participants, at a discounted price of • 108€ per night (with breakfast, single occupancy)
* 160€ per night (with breakfast, double occupancy).
These rooms need to be booked at the time of the registration, paying the cost in advance, by specifying the number of nights you need the booking for. If you wish to look for alternative accommodation (possible but not recommended), you can then select the option "Registration only" on the registration page, being aware of the low availability.
Please make sure to have your Italian “Codice Fiscale” (VAT number) or your passport number at the time of registration.
The conference will consist of contributed talks and poster sessions, with more than 20 talks and 30 poster presentations. The three day schedule and the full list of poster presentations can be found at https://bioinference.github.io/2025/, while a list of confirmed talks include:
