New Trends in Bioinformatics by ECCB is the new format designed to virtually host a selection of the ECCB2020 workshops and tutorials. These satellite events will run the week before the main event during the afternoon to promote broad participation at both European and International level.

The workshops will provide participants with an informal setting to discuss technical issues, exchange research ideas, and to share practical experiences on a range of focused or emerging topics in bioinformatics. Each workshop will provide an interesting perspective on the cutting edge of a selected research field. Workshops may include any form of presentation such as talks or panel discussions.

The tutorials will provide participants with lectures and hands-on training covering topics relevant to the field of bioinformatics. Each tutorial will offer participants an opportunity to learn about new areas of bioinformatics research, to get an introduction to important established topics, or to develop advanced skills in areas they are already familiar with.
