AI-based methods are pushing the limits of what is possible in experimental design, data analysis, simulation, and modelling. The aim of this symposium is to catalyse synergistic interactions between AI researchers in different subfields of biology by exploring shared theoretical approaches, cross-domain experiments, and data integration, as well as shared topics in dissemination of tools and collaboration with experimental labs. Furthermore, we will look into the future and discuss how the concerted actions of AI and life science communities can enable both fields to exploit the full potential of the ongoing data deluge and find new application areas ripe for disruption by AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI-based analytics is subject to active research in at least three major application areas: sequencing, imaging and structural biology. While all three domains are experiencing very fast growth, the development of AI-based analysis is largely happening independently. The aim of our symposium is to bring these communities together to discuss topics of mutual interest to make progress, including on the theoretical\/methodological side and on the more strategic issues of identifying the next areas of high potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Session topics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Challenging the state

Bahn (DB), the national rail provider, has announced a <strong>last minute strike affecting all rail travel across Germany on Tuesday 12 March<\/strong>. Further details can be found here on the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bahn.de\/service\/fahrplaene\/aktuell\"> DB website<\/a>. There is a version in English <a href=\"https:\/\/int.bahn.de\/en\/contact\/special-event?dbkanal_007=L2_S02_D002_KIN0059_Blitzbox-EN_LZ01\">here<\/a>. Currently DB state that long distance \/ intercity trains, regional and local trains will be severely disrupted. <strong>DB rail tickets booked on or before 10 March <\/strong><strong><em>for travel on Tuesday 12 March<\/em><\/strong><strong> can now be used flexibly and are valid on any train either today Monday 11 March (long distance trains only) or after 12 March.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We realise this could impact your journey to the <strong>EMBO|EMBL Symposium: AI and biology<\/strong><strong>. <\/strong>The following information is to assist you in checking and adjusting travel plans to reach Heidelberg:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Arriving to Heidelberg \u2013 Tuesday, 12 March 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>By train<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>DB says that long distance, regional and local \u2018S-Bahn\u2019 train services in Germany will be severely disrupted on Tuesday. Only very few services will run. The timetable will be updated regularly on the <a href=\"https:\/\/int.bahn.de\/en\/offers\">DB website<\/a> and app. If your accommodation arrangements can be changed, consider making use of the flexible ticket validity announced by DB to travel to Heidelberg tonight, before the strike. Alternatively you could look into<a href=\"https:\/\/global.flixbus.com\/\"> bus route alternatives<\/a>, driving or car sharing. The strike affects only travel on the first day of the four day symposium. Of course you will still be able to join if you arrive on day 2, as a last resort.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>By air from Frankfurt Main Airport&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>EMBL will provide 3 buses (free of charge) departing from<strong> Terminal 1 Bus stop P36 (bus parking lot) <\/strong>Frankfurt Main Airport <strong>at 9:00 (1 bus) and 11:30 (2 buses)<\/strong>. Places are limited, on a first come first served basis. If you arrive before this time please wait at the airport until the buses depart. These buses will take you directly to EMBL Heidelberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The buses (Hoffman Reisen company) will be on the P36 bus lot and have a sign displaying \u201cEMBL SHUTTLE\u201d in the front window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;By car \/ car sharing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Car parking is available at EMBL Heidelberg. We recommend connecting with other participants in advance is the \u2018Discussion\u2019 area in the virtual platform for the conference. Joining instructions for the virtual conference platform have been sent to you separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Important:<\/em><\/strong> Please check with your hotel if parking is available and if a reservation is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<strong>FAQS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.&nbsp; Is the conference still running as scheduled?<\/strong> YES!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. I cannot travel to EMBL Heidelberg to attend the conference onsite, due to the strike and none of the above options work for me.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All is not lost, as a second best, you can attend the conference as a virtual participant using the details previously sent. The strike only affects travel on the first day of the four day symposium.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3 &nbsp; Can I get a refund if I cannot attend the confe<\/strong>rence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately not. However, you can still enjoy the conference as a virtual participant using the details previously sent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. &nbsp; Will EMBL provide any other buses, outside of what has been arranged during the strikes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. However you can also make alternative transport arrangements by clicking on the useful links websites below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. &nbsp; Do I need to reserve a seat on the EMBL airport bus on Tuesday 12 March?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Seats are on a<strong> first-come-first-served <\/strong>basis. However we have planned that capacity will not be exceeded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Where do I find the buses at the Frankfurt airport?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Terminal 1 you can reach the long-distance bus parking lot P36 via Arrival C. Then keep right. The long-distance bus parking lot is signposted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7.Does the strike affect local buses and trams in Heidelberg?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Public buses and trams will continue to operate as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Do I need to pay for the EMBL buses from Frankfurt Main to Heidelberg on Tuesday 12 March?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. EMBL are providing this free of charge.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9. How will I know which is the correct bus from the airport to Heidelberg\/EMBL on Tuesday 12 March?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Frankfurt Main airport, buses will depart from <strong>Terminal 1 Bus stop P36 (parking lot).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buses (Hoffman Reisen company) will have a sign displaying \u201cEMBL SHUTTLE\u201d in the front window of the bus.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10. Will the conference shuttle buses from Heidelberg hotels to EMBL <\/strong>still run?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, we are providing transport service as usual at specific times. Information can be found<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/course-and-conference-office\/events\/ees24-01\/#vf-tabs__section-information\"> here.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11. What if I miss the EMBL airport bus?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternative transport is available. Please see useful websites below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12. Will the trains run on Friday, check-out day of the conference?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. The strike is expected to end at 2am on Wednesday 13 March. We will keep participants updated if this changes. You can also follow on the DB website<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bahn.de\/\"> here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>13. Can I get a taxi from the airport to Heidelberg?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, official taxis which run on a meter basis are available outside the airports&nbsp; but this is an expensive option at around 200 Euros for a normal passenger car from Frankfurt airport for example.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptheidelberg.de\/\"> Personal Transfers Heidelberg<\/a> are an option if you want to consider pre-booking a private individual or group car transfer from the airport.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>14. Where can I connect with other participants to discuss transport arrangements?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An option for connecting with other participants in advance is the virtual platform for the conference (under discussion menu). Joining instructions for the virtual conference platform have been sent to you separately.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>15. If arriving directly to EMBL, can I bring my luggage?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, There are lockers available on-site to store your luggage, which require a 2 EURO coin to operate.
