BioinfoConnect UK - sponsoring opportunity

BioinfoConnect UK is a new UK-wide initiative that convenes leaders of bioinformatics core facilities to strengthen coordination, improve FAIR-aligned practices, and enhance the delivery of bioinformatics services across academia and research organisations. This growing community currently has representation from 15 different national research units spread across the country including Warwick Bioinformatics & Digital Health Services. Sponsoring BioinfoConnect offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with decision-makers who influence infrastructure choices, workflows, and training within their institutions. Support from sponsors will enable inclusive, high-quality events and demonstrate commitment to advancing robust, sustainable bioinformatics ecosystems in the UK. BioinfoConnect events also offer a meaningful opportunity for your organization to gain targeted visibility, strengthen brand alignment with innovation and impact, and engage directly with future talent and decision-makers. We welcome partnerships with organisations that share our interest in supporting excellence, interoperability, and community-driven innovation in bioinformatics.
