 	Updates on the ELIXIR CZ ecosystem and its role within the wider ELIXIR
infrastructure
 	Presentations covering the ELIXIR CZ Strategy 2025–2030, including
scientific focus areas and cross-cutting themes
 	Introductions to ELIXIR CZ consortium partners
 	Interactive "Meet the Experts" networking session
 	Poster session
 	Collaborative hackathon-style working groups addressing current
challenges and opportunities across ELIXIR CZ
 	Presentation of outcomes and future action plans

hackathon topics, including initiatives such as TeSS, ELIXIR CZ Impact
Stories, bio.tools, AI foundation models, and other community-driven
projects.
Participants will then work in parallel groups throughout the day,
developing ideas and collaborative outputs.
The day will conclude with a social event.

Poster Session
Participants are warmly invited to present their work during the poster
session on the first evening of the conference. We welcome posters
showcasing research projects, software tools, databases, training
activities, FAIR data initiatives, infrastructure services, and other work
relevant to ELIXIR and computational life sciences.

Further information about poster submission, including deadlines and
formatting guidelines, will be announced together with registration.
Venue
The conference will take place at Chateau Třešť (Zámek Třešť), a
historic conference venue that offers excellent facilities for scientific
