This year VCBM will feature a four full days of program from September 30th to October 3rd thanks to two exciting co-located events organized by the Bio+Med+Vis community and the German computer societies Fachgruppe for Visual Computing in Biology and Medicine.

On September 30th we will start with the 5th Bio+Med+Vis Summerschool, a full day event primarily for M.Sc. and Ph.D. students in Computer Science, but anyone who wants to learn more about principles and challenges in visualization for Life Sciences applications is welcome! The registration for the Summer School is free of charge and it will provide access to an educational platform, where all materials will be available afterward. Registration is required through the Summerschools own website (opening soon).

October 1st will feature the annual meeting of the Fachgruppe for Visual Computing in Biology and Medicine. The meeting is free of charge and open to anyone interested. The primary goal is to discuss late breaking and ongoing research and provide room for discussion. Further information will soon be published by the FG VCBM.

Finally, on October 2nd and 3rd the main EG Symposium on Visual Computing in Biology and Medicine (VCBM) will take place, featuring invited talks, a full paper, short paper and posters/demos track, social events and more. We invite submissions to the scientifc tracks. More information and calls will be available soon. Please note the upcoming deadlines indicated on the right.

Please note that the Bio+Med+Vis summer school and the annual meeting of the Fachgruppe for Visual Computing in Biology and Medicine, while both closely related to the content of VCBM 2025 can both be attended independently of the main symposium. We invite everyone interested to join any of the three events.
