The 2026 Workshop on Genomics will run from the 11th-24th of January, 2026 in Český Krumlov, Czechia. This is the 15th time the Workshop on Genomics will be held in the Czech Republic.
What is the Workshop on Genomics?
Our philosophy is to train participants in the most relevant topics in genomics, in a vibrant, immersive and inclusive environment. The Workshop on Genomics was developed in response to the increasing demand for training on how to effectively analyse and manage data generated by modern sequencing technologies. The Workshop curriculum includes extensive coverage of fundamental techniques required of all studies utilising modern sequencing data. While the Workshop on Genomics topics may change from year-to-year, efforts are made to devote time to techniques being used widely in the field (e.g. genomics study design, genome assembly, genome annotation, alignment, variant calling). Join our Newsletter (bottom of this page) to get announcements, or stay updated through Bluesky, LinkedIn, and Facebook. The Workshop registration fee is $1,950. We provide approximately 90 hours of teaching during the two week workshop. Our price is therefore approximately $22 an hour. Note that this amount does not cover travel, lodging or boarding. Many important details regarding fees and other information can be read on our FAQ page.Early Bird Registration!
