#BioHackEU25 @elixir-europe.org in emojis. Amazing to see how many activities a person can fit in a week. Hours of (even nightly) hacking, networking, sports, spa, walks, games (absolutely 🧡 the roleplaying games @nicjar-nbis.bsky.social brought), karaoke (not my thing is not an option at BH) & more
The past weeks were so hectic with events that I forgot to post on #BioHackEU25 @elixir-europe.org. Time to catch up. The photos nicely capture the #Berlin vibe. Alive and chaotic 😍⚛️🤯 but we always achieve our goals 👩💻💪
We had a small, strong @elixir-nl.bsky.social team, contributing to many projects

🇩🇪💻 ERGA was present at the @elixir-europe.org #BioHackEU25 in Berlin last week!
Our Annotation & Data Analysis Committees worked on two projects:
- Benchmarking BUSCO genes for #phylogenomics
- Streamlining #FAIR metadata for genome annotations

Many thanks to @elixir-europe.org for an incredibly productive week at #BioHackEU25 🖥️: full of learning, new collaborations, and plenty of fun on top!
🎉Thank you all for joining #BioHackEU25! A special thanks to our online and overseas participants 🙌 staying up late hacking through different projects with us. 👏It has been a great week!! And we look forward to seeing you next year for #BioHackEU26 in Barcelona, Spain!🥳
🚀👩💻🧑💻 End of this week of #BioHackEU25, organised by @elixir-europe.org , to advance all projects in synergy! Thank you to the IFB/ELIXIR-FR team (on-site and remotely), and to our colleagues at @genouest.bsky.social 👏
📣 Wrapping up #BioHackEU25! @elixirestonia.bsky.social was represented by four members this year (two on-site near Berlin and two online), delivering a week of intense hacking. Hard work, impressive results, and a lot learned.
Final days of hacking at @elixir-europe.org #BioHackEU25! Project #5: Bidirectional bridge: GitHub ⇄ bio.tools making slow but steady progress on translating research software metadata between these two platforms. Always a great opportunity to learn new things and get to know new people as well.
📊🚀 Check out Project #15 “Metrics” at Biohackathon Europe 2025!
Monitoring KPIs for ELIXIR Services—mapping indicators & creating an “indicator ontology” for better self-assessment & reporting.
Partners: ELIXIR UK, CZ, DE, CH, IE, & more.

✨ We're halfway through #BioHackEU25!
This afternoon, all projects will present their 🎯 goals and challenges they’ve encountered and seek expertise from participants.
Keyword of this year: #Data, #Research, #FAIR and #Metadata
Project 14 here at the #BioHackEU25 will work to assess and improve the state of #mzTab-M for #Metabolomics over the next few days. Plus having fun meeting all the other attendees here near Berlin
Today, a global community of hackers gathers in Berlin 🇩🇪 for the start of #BioHackEU25. Since 2019, over 2200 participants have gathered together for an intense week of collaboration to advance 275 projects.
