Hello Ben, Thanks for asking. I was going to send more info very soon so I might as well do it now.
SAVE THE DATE The conference will happen in Lausanne/Renens on 1-5 February 2017. There is still discussions going on but we could have a one day hackademy on the Wednesday (for newbies). The Thursday and Friday will be an "academic" conference on DIYbio organised by Bruno Strasser from the university of Geneva, and Friday evening-Sunday will be for the DIYbio EU meetup (hands on and discussions). Of course we would love to see participants stay for the whole of the time to get some exchange between people thinking about DIYbio and those who actually do stuff! The whole meeting will be free to attend for EVERYONE. I cannot give more details right now as it is still work in progress, but we are working on scholarships to help you all with travel and accommodation costs. I hope we'll manage that. The event will be at UniverCité, the home of Hackuarium, with fully equipped lab and workshops and therefore a chance to actually do stuff :) More details soon, but please book the dates and think about what you would like to discuss, present or work on. I hope this partially answers your question.
