The Finnish Society for Bioinformatics

The Finnish Society for Bioinformatics is a community for people interested in bioinformatics, welcoming experienced researchers, students, research groups, and companies, as well as anyone curious about the field. Members do not need to be bioinformaticians; the society is open to all who share an interest in bioinformatics.

The society connects its community through events and opportunities to learn and network. Its activities include Bioinformatics Day, scheduled for late spring 2027, and BioWebinars featuring speakers and topics from the field. It also promotes informal BioBeer gatherings in several Finnish cities, including Helsinki, Turku, and Oulu. Through its website, the society shares research highlights, job listings, information about collaborators, and details about upcoming events. Visitors can also find links to previous Bioinformatics Day content and webinar materials, and learn how to join the society. The organization maintains a presence on LinkedIn and GitHub and welcomes inquiries by email. Overall, it serves as a point of connection for Finland’s bioinformatics community, supporting engagement, knowledge sharing, and collaboration across academic and industry audiences.
