GBES 2024 Sponsors
Why sponsor GBES?
GBES is the only summit dedicated to gathering international bioinformatics educators and other experts to address challenges in bioinformatics education and workforce development. Sponsoring this summit means supporting the "doers" who are proposing and implementing solutions to life science's biggest challenges.
Past accomplishments
​GBES working groups and participants have contributed to a number of landmark resources in bioinformatics education:
​
-
Grand challenges in bioinformatics education (paper)
-
Bioinformatics competency framework (resource)
-
Course design: Considerations for trainers – a Professional Guide (paper)
-
Train-the-Trainer: Course design and delivery for bioinformatics trainers (curriculum)

Sponsorship levels and benefits
Volunteer-driven and inclusive
This summit is a 100% volunteer effort, with all revenue going towards the cost of the venue and travel awards (prioritizing attendees from minority-serving institutions, primarily undergraduate institutions, community colleges, and attendees from lower- and middle-income countries). Any unexpended funds will be donated to future summits and convenings supporting bioinformatics education and workforce development.
​
Sponsorship helps keep registration costs minimal, and recognizes that many bioinformatics educators have few resources or opportunities to support their own professional development.
​
GBES is also committed to open-educational resources, open-source, and open-access to ensure bioinformatics education is accessible to all.
