The Second Annual Meeting of the European Virus Bioinformatics Center (EVBC), held in Utrecht, Netherlands, focused on computational approaches in virology, with topics including (but not limited to) virus discovery, diagnostics, (meta-)genomics, modeling, epidemiology, molecular structure, evolution, and viral ecology. The goals of the Second Annual Meeting were threefold: (i) to bring together virologists and bioinformaticians from across the academic, industrial, professional, and training sectors to share best practice; (ii) to provide a meaningful and interactive scientific environment to promote discussion and collaboration between students, postdoctoral fellows, and both new and established investigators; (iii) to inspire and suggest new research directions and questions. Approximately 120 researchers from around the world attended the Second Annual Meeting of the EVBC this year, including 15 renowned international speakers. This report presents an overview of new developments and novel research findings that emerged during the meeting.
第二届欧洲病毒生物信息学中心年会（EVBC）在荷兰乌得勒支举行，会议重点关注病毒学中的计算方法，主题包括（但不限于）病毒发现、诊断、（宏）基因组学、建模、流行病学、分子结构、进化和病毒生态学。第二届年会的目标有三：（i）将来自学术、工业、专业和培训领域的病毒学家和生物信息学家聚集在一起，分享最佳实践；（ii）提供一个有意义和互动的科学环境，促进学生、博士后研究员以及新老研究人员之间的讨论和合作；（iii）激发和提出新的研究方向和问题。今年，来自世界各地的约 120 名研究人员参加了第二届 EVBC 年会，其中包括 15 位知名国际演讲者。本报告概述了会议期间出现的新进展和新的研究发现。
