JOBIM is the annual event that has been bringing together the French bioinformatics community every year since 20 years, attracting 300 to 500 participants. This conference is an opportunity to discover the scientific and technical advances of this theme at the crossroads of biology, computer science, mathematics and physics. The JOBIM organization is led by the SFBI (steering committee), with the strong involvement of a local organizing committee and a national scientific program committee (CP), and a partnership with the IFB and the GDR-BIM. The conference is a trans-disciplinary meeting place in a welcoming environment that encourages exchanges.
