The European Bioinformatics Community for Mass Spectrometry (EuBIC?MS): an open community for bioinformatics training and research

The European Bioinformatics Community for Mass Spectrometry (EuBIC-MS; eubic-ms.org) was founded in 2014 to unite computational mass spectrometry researchers and proteomics bioinformaticians working academia industry. EuBIC-MS maintains educational resources (proteomics-academy.org) organises workshops at national international conferences on spectrometry. Furthermore, is actively involved several community initiatives such as the Human Proteome Organization's Proteomics Standards Initiative (HUPO-PSI). Apart from these collaborations, has organised two Winter Schools Developers' Meetings that have contributed strengthening of network fostered collaboration this field, even beyond Europe. Moreover, currently developing a community-driven standard dedicated data annotation (SDRF-Proteomics) will facilitate reuse collaboration. This manuscript highlights what is, it does, already achieved. A warm invitation extended new all career stages join its Slack channel (eubic.slack.com).
