SIB Awards

To promote excellence, diversity and innovation in the field of bioinformatics, SIB created the SIB Bioinformatics Awards twelve years ago to acknowledge early career bioinformaticians and ground-breaking resources.

SIB Awards honour bioinformatics excellence in three categories:

•    Early Career Bioinformatics Award – an international award to recognise the excellence and promising nature of a researcher’s early career, based on one or several projects and/or papers focussing on the in silico analysis of biological sequences, structures or processes. More information
Call for entries: 2 November 2020 – 31 January 2021 

•    Swiss Bioinformatics Graduate Paper Award – a national award that recognises an outstanding graduate paper published by a PhD student in the area of in silico analysis of biological sequences, structures or processes. More information
Call for entries: 2 November 2020 – 31 January 2021

•    Bioinformatics Resource Innovation Award – an international award that recognises newly developed bioinformatics resources with an important impact on life science research or the clear potential to make such an impact. More information
Call for entries: 9 November 2020 – 28 February 2021

Candidates from the global bioinformatics community are encouraged to apply for these prestigious awards. Besides a cash prize, all laureates will be invited to present their work at the [BC]2 Basel Computational Biology Conference from 13 - 15 September 2021 in Basel, Switzerland.
