It's been a little over a week since EuroBioC2026 wrapped up in Turku, Finland.
The talks ended. The posters came down. But the conversations continue.
Here's a look back at a few faces and moments from the conference.
🧬 Earlier this year, members of the Bioconductor community met on San Servolo Island, Italy, for a three-day hackathon on spatial omics and bioimaging. They tackled challenges in spatial data infrastructure, interoperability, image analysis, visualisation, differential expression, and foundation models, producing new code, documentation, and a collaborative preprint to bolster spatial omics support across Bioconductor.

🧬 Upcoming Bioconductor Developers' Forum
📅 June 25, 2026
🕓 4 PM UTC
🎤 Szabolcs Horvát
igraph: complex network analysis across multiple programming languages
As Bioconductor continues to explore interoperability and accessibility, this session will highlight how the igraph project has successfully maintained multiple user-facing interfaces while supporting a common computational backend.

📢 Introducing the Bioconductor Package Maintainer Validation System
Bioconductor package maintenance doesn't end at submission. Keeping maintainer contact information up to date is essential for supporting users, responding to build issues, and ensuring packages remain actively maintained.
Bioconductor has launched a new maintainer validation system to help keep maintainer information up to date and support active package stewardship.
📖 Read more: https://blog.bioconductor.org/posts/2026-06-16-maintainer-validation/
📢 New package submissions to Bioconductor now have a new home.
The previous Single Package Builder (SPB) submission process has been replaced with a new system powered by GitHub Actions and R-universe, providing a more automated, reproducible, and streamlined review experience for package authors.
Also, new submissions should now be made through BiocContributions. The previous submission location has been frozen and will no longer accept new submissions.
📖 Read more: https://blog.bioconductor.org/posts/2026-06-15-new-submission-process-with-Runiverse/
📢 BioC2026 early bird registration is still open through June 15, 2026.
