Life science research has entered the era of data-driven, where rapidly evolving algorithms and tools have become key elements for innovative discoveries. MICOS-EU 2024 expands the MICOS competition into a wider global community. Invited by a local partner in Serbia, we have chosen Europe as the host location for this competition in 2024. The goal is to promote the cross-regional exchange of technology and talent to drive new advancements and discoveries in scientific research in omics and related sciences, particularly focused on promoting the international application and development of data science within the life sciences.
