About the Winter School
The EuBIC-MS Winter School on computational mass spectrometry (MS) takes place every two years. Its aim is to bring together the users and developers of computational mass spectrometry tools, as well as academia and industry.
The Winter School starts with an educational day dedicated to workshops and training in established computation MS tools and workflows. The following days, internationally renowned invited speakers give lectures and practical workshops covering the aspects of identification, quantification, result interpretation, and integration of MS data. Check out the full program for all keynote and workshop descriptions.
The EuBIC-MS Winter School 2022 took place in person on 21-24 March 2022 at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência in Oeiras, Portugal. To glimpse back on the event, watch the after movie:

Organize a workshop
All participants have the opportunity to organize a workshop at the EuBIC Winter School 2022. We will select:
- One full-day entry-level workshop that will take place on the 1st day of the conference.
- One half-day specialized workshop. This is a great opportunity to present a tool that you have developed. Other specialized workshops will be hosted by select keynote speakers.
Abstracts can be submitted through an online form until February 14th, 2022. Abstracts will then be selected by the organizational committee based on general relevance to the wide computational mass spectrometry community. Decisions will be communicated on February 28th, 2022.
Present your work with a flash talk or poster
We encourage all attendants to present their work with a poster. The organizing committee will select abstracts for a short 5-minute presentation. We especially encourage Early Career Researchers to do so. Select travel grants for Early Career Researchers can also be applied for through this form. See travel grants for more information. Abstract submission for flash talks and travel grants closed on February 14th, 2022. The extended poster abstract deadline ended on 28/02/2022. Abstract acceptance was communicated on February 28th, 2022.
Poster boards are 192 by 94 cm and accommodate portrait A0 format. Materials to attach posters to the poster boards will be provided by the organization.
