SWAT4(HC)LS (Semantic Web Applications and Tools for Healthcare and Life Sciences) is a venue for presenting and discussing novel ideas, experiences and issues in the application of semantic and web technologies in the biomedical domain at large.

Starting in 2008, SWAT4(HC)LS has been held continuously for more than 10 years, expanding from a one day workshop to a four-day event composed of tutorials, conference and hackathon.

SWAT4LS intends to provide an open and vibrant discussion space cross-cutting across academia, industry and institutional participants.

The next edition of SWAT4(HC)LS will be held in Edinburgh, from 9 to 12 December 2019.

The program is available here.
