Transitions in the age of biomedical AI

September 27, 2026 - October 1, 2026 | Konzerthaus Freiburg, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany

Organized by International Society for Clinical Biostatistics (ISCB) and German Association for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology (GMDS)

Joint scientific conference of ISCB and GMDS on clinical biostatistics and medical informatics, held as a scientific meeting rather than a trade fair.

ISCB GMDS 2026 is a joint congress: the 47th Annual Conference of the International Society for Clinical Biostatistics and the 71st Annual Conference of the German Association for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology. ISCB is the international society for statisticians working in clinical research, while GMDS is the German-language professional society whose remit spans medical informatics, biometry and epidemiology. Running the two annual conferences as one event produces a programme in which methodological statistics and health informatics are read against each other rather than kept in separate rooms.

The theme, transitions in the age of biomedical AI, sets the agenda: AI techniques applied to biomedical data, medical data sciences, novel treatment paradigms, and the methodological developments needed to evaluate them. A Small Data Symposium shares the closing day, a pairing that foregrounds inference when sample sizes are limited, a recurring problem in rare disease and precision medicine research. Anyone looking for a biostatistics conference in Germany, a medical informatics congress in Freiburg, or the GMDS Jahrestagung will find contributed talks, posters, pre-conference short courses, mini-symposia and an Early Career Researcher Day.

The venue is the Konzerthaus Freiburg on Konrad-Adenauer-Platz in the centre of Freiburg im Breisgau, a university city in the southwest of Germany at the edge of the Black Forest and close to the Swiss and French borders. Registration is tiered by society membership and by career stage, with separate rates for students and retired members, reduced rates for delegates from low-income and medium-low-income countries following World Bank classifications, and single-day tickets for those who cannot attend the whole event. Pre-conference courses are booked and priced separately from the main scientific programme.
