Events

An important aspect of SBML development is face-to-face meetings where developers, researchers and other interested persons meet each other and discuss their experiences and ongoing work. There are different kinds of events. SBML Forum Meetings are the annual working meetings of the SBML community and provide an opportunity to discuss SBML, its continued evolution, and software efforts to support SBML. SBML Hackathons are annual meetings of developers and provide an opportunity to discuss software interoperability of SBML-aware software. Finally, the community also organizes occasional special workshops aimed at pushing forward the development of specific SBML features.
