https://help.junolive.com/exhibitors-speakers/Attend-a-live-training-session.863174854.html 

To join the session:

1. log in to the ISMB virtual platform (https://iscb.junolive.co/ismb2022) using the email you registered for the conference with.
   • It is important that you use the same email as permissions on the virtual site are tied to your email
2. Once logged in navigate to your talk
   • There are multiple paths to your talk, for example searching through the Scientific Programme or via your profile page
3. Normally clicking on your talk will bring up the details about your talk.  30 minutes before the session where your talk is scheduled, that link will instead take you to the video conferencing system.  This is why the email permissions are important

We ask that you join as early as you are able within the 30 minute window to provide ample time to troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

NOTE: sharing the screen with the virtual audience means presenter mode cannot be used.

If you need assistance joining the room there is a help chat available that will attempt to troubleshoot and connect you to live assistance.  You can also contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

ISMB Sustainable Conference Travel Award (SCTA)

Motivation

The pandemic has shown the scientific community the benefits and limitations of virtual conferences. While a lower carbon footprint is a clear advantage of virtual meetings, it has become clear that creativity and exchange of ideas happens best through personal interaction.  As travel and gathering restrictions are eased, ISMB2022 will be celebrated as an in-person conference. However, there is a growing concern about how to make travel and attendance more sustainable and respectful for the planet. The ISMB Sustainable Conference Travel Award aims to promote sustainable travel to scientific meetings by rewarding delegates who show environmentally friendly travel to attend the ISMB2022 Conference in Madison, Wisconsin, USA.

How to participate

Do you have a plan for more sustainable travel to Madison for the ISMB 2022 conference? This could be travel using land rather than air transport for the totality or parts of your trip, or traveling with other participants using a common rental, or simply implementing environmentally friendly actions during your trip. If you wish to participate in the ISMB2022 SCTA, this is how it works:

• Click HERE to submit your entry to the ISMB2022 Sustainable Conference Travel Award describing how you are planning to make your trip different and more sustainable. Your abstract should include: how you will travel, how many ISMB 2022 attendees are involved in your trip, how many miles you will cover, an estimate of the carbon footprint savings, and how you will communicate your travel through social media. You are encouraged to use the hashtag #GreenTravel2ISMB
• At the registration desk at Monona Terrace, indicate you are participating in the Sustainable Conference Travel Award to receive the SCTA ribbon. You should provide documentation that demonstrate your sustainable travel (tickets, rental contracts, twitter posts, etc).
• The GreenISCB committee will select the two best sustainable conference travel experiences. We will consider not only the carbon footprint saving, but also the number of participants involved, the creativity and effort at designing an alternative travel choice, and the dissemination of the initiative. Each winning proposal will receive a $500 check.
• Winners are expected to give a short presentation about their proposal and experience during the conference.

FUNDING INFORMATION:

ISCB is pleased to offer travel fellowships, including registration waivers for virtual participants, to ISMB 2022 for students and postdoctoral fellows to present a talk or poster at the conference in Madison, WI, USA. Funding sources for Travel Fellowships are very limited and we regret that we are not able to fund all applicants. The conference organizers are committed to providing support to as many eligible applicants as possible. Travel Fellowship consideration is based on membership and accepted work to ISMB 2022.

Travel Fellowship Application Invitations are sent directly to eligible individuals after acceptance of a scientific submissions to Proceedings, Abstracts, and/or Posters.

TRAVEL FELLOWSHIP APPLICATION OVERVIEW:

1. The submitting author will be sent the invitation and is responsible for getting the invitation to the presenting author if the work is not being presented by the submitting author;
2. Applicant must be a current member of ISCB prior to submitting an application;
3. Applicant must be listed as an author and be the presenter of an accepted Oral or Poster presentation (excluding accepted Late Posters) in order to be eligible to apply for travel fellowship funds through ISMB 2022
4. All applicants must attend all four (4) conference days and secure additional funding from other sources in order to be able to cover the full costs of attending the conference;
5. The deadline to submit a fellowship application is May 20, 2022, by 5:00 EDT. No exceptions will be made.

MAXIMUM AWARD AMOUNTS

The maximum fellowship award is determined based on geographical location of applicant and upon submission of appropriate receipts. Please note that funded applicants will only be able to cover approximately 50% of the expense of travel and registration fees with these fellowship amounts. Thus all applicants must seek and secure additional funding sources (e.g., from your home institution/university, or grant funding). For ISMB 2022 maximum awards are as follows:

Application Process

Application is by invitation-only, sent automatically via email to the submitting author of an accepted Proceedings, Abstracts (previously late-breaking and highlights), and Posters (excluding accepted Late Posters) submissions. This invitation email will arrive after notification of acceptance of one of these submission types as a separate. IF YOU HAVE AN ACCEPTED PRESENTATION AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN INVITATION BY MAY 13 – PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER AND THEN CONTACT US IF AN INVITATION IS NOT THERE: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Each invitation will include a travel fellowship application URL to link to an application. The application URL must be submitted by the presenting author only, if he or she meets the qualifying requirements. If the submitting author is not the presenting author, it is the responsibility of the submitting author to forward the invitation to the presenting author if he or she meets the eligibility requirements. Each application URL can only be used one time and no application will be accepted after the deadline of May 20, 2022.

Eligibility Requirements

1. Applicant must be a current ISCB member whose membership does not expire prior to the last day of the conference (July 14, 2022). Applications will not be accepted from non-members; pending memberships do not qualify and must be paid in full prior to submission of an application.

2. Applicant must be listed as an author or co-author on the original submission of an accepted ISMB 2022 Proceedings paper, Abstracts (previously Highlight paper and Late Breaking Research abstract), or Poster (excluding accepted Late Posters), and, per the requirements of the funding agencies, the funded applicant must be the presenting author of the work. (Submitters to the "Call for Late Posters" are not eligible for fellowship funding.)

3. Applicant must be registered in a degree program (undergraduate or graduate) or as a *postdoctoral research fellow at an accredited educational institution at the time of the conference; early career researcher (low - Upper-Middle Economic countries); post docs and employees of any US federal agency are ineligible for funding using US federal funds - currently we have only US federal funds for this travel fellowship program. (*The period of eligibility for a PostDoc is five (5) years from the time of their PhD completion date).

4. Applicant must be prepared to register for ISMB 2022 by June 13, 2022, and plan to attend all four conference days. If attendance at the conference is dependent on receipt of travel fellowship funds, please do not register until after the notification of travel fellowship funding. Any funded applicant failing to register for the conference by June 13, 2022 will automatically forfeit the funds so that another applicant can be awarded from among the original pool of applicants.

5. Applicant must be able to pay all expenses of attending the conference up front, including conference registration fee (as noted in #4 above), travel, accommodations and meals. Travel Fellowship funding will be provided via the ISCB payment system (bill.com) via secure electronic funds transfer (wire or ACH) approximately 6-8 weeks after the conference. 

Eligible expenses

Eligible expenses toward travel fellowship funds include conference registration, transportation (air or land transportation from home region to conference city), a maximum of $1126.00 US of hotel room and occupancy tax charges, COVID-19 testing, and a maximum of $250.00 US in meal expenses. The hotel must be booked within the conference hotel book to be eligible for reimbursement. In order to receive the full-awarded amount, receipts for registration, transportation and hotel accommodations are required that equal or exceed the awarded amount. Only the conference registration fee is reimbursable; registration fees to attend pre-conference tutorials are not reimbursable expenses.

Notification

Applicants will be notified no later than May 30, 2022 of the funding status. In some cases applicants may be notified they are on a wait list for funding, which means that ISCB is fully expecting but still awaiting the formal confirmation of our grant award from one or more granting agency, and that awarding of those funds will not be possible until the grant needed to fund the travel fellowship is confirmed. Any wait listed applicant that is eventually awarded funds will be offered the opportunity to register at the early registration rate, therefore, please do not register for the conference if your attendance is fully dependent on being awarded a travel fellowship as any cancellation of an applicant's registration will be subject to the full regular registration cancellation policy.

Funded applicants will be required to present evidence of their eligibility status (such as student identification card) when signing in with the Travel Fellowships Desk to record their attendance. In all cases, funds will be mailed to funded applicants after the conference per the details noted in Eligibility Requirements #5 above.

Awards - ISMB 2022

Contributions to the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) Award
Ian Lawson Van Toch Memorial Award for Outstanding Student Paper
RCSB PDB Poster Prize

Outstanding Contributions to the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) Award

The outstanding Contributions to the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) Award was initiated in 2015 to recognize members who have made beneficial and lasting contributions to the Society through their leadership, service, and educational work, or a combination of these three areas.

The Outstanding Student Paper Award is given to the student who presents the most thought-provoking or original paper at the Conference, as judged by our panel of experts.

This award is given in memory of Ian Lawson Van Toch, a 23 year old Medical Biophysics graduate student at the University of Toronto who passed away in August 2007. Ian was fortunate to have already discovered his passion for computational biology and how it can - and will - lead to quantum breakthroughs in cancer research. This passion was sparked when Dr Igor Jurisica hired Ian to work in his lab at the Ontario Cancer Institute as a researcher during the summer of 2006. That introduction blossomed into a mentoring relationship that is so vital to helping young students launch their careers.

Our thanks go to the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation who has sponsored this award since 2008.
