+<h2> GSC25 Cambridge, UK.</h2>
+
+<p>The 20th anniversary of the Genomic Standards Consortium will be celebrated at the 25th GSC meeting. It will be located where it all began, Cambridge UK. The GSC25 meeting will focus on multi-decade transformative impact and expansion of Genomic Data Standards and Microbial Genome Sequencing, looking ahead at the utilization and transparency of Artificial Intelligence and the growth of new standards in the fields of ancient DNA, eDNA, biopreservation/biodiversity, microbiomes, viromes, along with environmental and human health. 
+The GSC25 three-day format with sessions on the GSC’s 20-year impact on data standardization and reuse; perspectives from three decades of microbial sequencing; GSC-community partnerships; Evolution of standards in the context of a network of projects and resources; evolving MIxS standards.</p>

+
+The Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) is an open-membership working body formed in September 2005. The aim of the GSC is making genomic data discoverable. The GSC enables genomic data integration, discovery and comparison through international community-driven standards. Learn more on the [Gensc.org/About](https://www.gensc.org/pages/about.html) page.
+
+
+## GSC meetings
+The GSC host annual international meetings to promote the use of standards in the life sciences and beyond, with a particular emphasis on sequence data sharing.
+
+Each annual meeting is themed around a topic or topics that are relevant to the host organisation and local participants. This year the underlying theme will be the Challenges of Reproducibility in Genomics, and how the use of standards can help overcome those challenges.
+
+With the recent movement in the FAIR principles arena towards focusing on machine-readable and actionable data, along with the commitments shown by various National funding agencies towards open and reproducible science, we hope our choice of topic will enable networking of relevant players from standards organisations, funders, and researchers to further the discussions and facilitate a coherent movement towards a more robust future for scientific discovery and dissemination.
+
+This meeting is intended for academic, corporate, and government professionals in the fields of medical genomics, environmental genomics, metagenomics, and microbiome sciences, tackling technical, metadata, and reproducibility challenges related to sample collection, processing, and genomic sequencing workflows critical for small- and large-scale datasets. 
+Attendance for the GSC25  annual meeting is expected to be between 200 and 250 participants.  
+
+
+## GSC past meetings
+Please see [GSC24-Tucson](https://genomicsstandardsconsortium.github.io/GSC24-Tucson/) and [GSC23-Bangkok](https://genomicsstandardsconsortium.github.io/GSC23-Bangkok/) for the previous two GSC meetings.
