53+
The "**Computational Modeling in Biology**" Network (**COMBINE**) is an initiative to coordinate the development of the various community standards and formats in systems biology, synthetic biology and related fields. HARMONY is a codefest-type meeting, with a focus on development of the standards, interoperability and infrastructure. There are generally not many general discussions or oral presentations during HARMONY; instead, the time is devoted to allowing hands-on hacking and interaction between people focused on practical development of software and standards.
54+
55+
HARMONY 2025 will be held at **KU Leuven**
56+
57+
Local organizers are <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Liesbet Geris</a>, <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Luiz Ladeira</a>, and <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Bernard Staumont</a>.
58+
59+
<h2>Schedule</h2>
60+
61+
The schedule is available below. People who have attended HARMONY in the past will know that this is inclined to change as participants make their own arrangements for conversations/discussions. A link to the editable version will be sent to the mailing list.

<h3>Sister Meetings</h3>
122+
123+
**9th Disease Maps Community Meeting - DMCM2025**
124+
125+
Simultaneously from 15th to 17th April 2025 at the same venue.
126+
127+
The 2025 edition of the Disease Maps Community Meeting is set to take place in Leuven, Belgium. This annual gathering brings together the researchers, clinicians, and domain experts involved in mapping and modelling disease mechanisms. The meeting provides a forum for exchanging best practices, sharing information, and developing tools to advance the use of systems medicine in translational medicine projects and decision making support. Building on the success of previous editions in locations like Belval, Maastricht, Sevilla, and Paris, the 2025 meeting in Leuven is expected to attract a diverse group of participants dedicated to furthering the understanding and application of disease maps in research and healthcare.
128+
129+
The DMCM2025 will be held simultaneously with HARMONY 2025, in the same venue. This is expected to enhance interaction between the COMBINE and the Disease Maps communities, fostering collaboration opportunities and networking. Coffee breaks and meals will be shared between both meetings.
130+
131+
More information can be found here: [DMCM2025](https://disease-maps.io/DMCM2025/).
