The virtual meeting series events were held monthly during the first week of each month, with a regular rotation of science workshops and professional development workshops. Each workshop contained 90 minutes of programming, including plenary presentations by invited speakers, a community building breakout session, and a plenary Q&amp;A session. To foster an open environment for data sharing and discussion, most sessions were not recorded.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/outputs-resources\/meetings-and-workshops\/c-debi-annual-meetings\/\">2011-2021 C-DEBI Annual Meetings<br \/>\n<\/a><\/strong>Members of the C-DEBI community met annually to report on and discuss presently-active, C-DEBI-funded research and education and outreach projects. The size of the meetings were limited to approximately 70 people to support well-integrated discussions; priority invitation was given to those C-DEBI participants with active grants who had not presented on their work previously.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2017-2022 Deep Subsurface Microbiology Collaborative Workshops<br \/>\n<\/strong>C-DEBI collaborates with external partners such as the Deep Life science community of the Sloan-Foundation funded Deep Carbon Observatory (DCO) and the U.S. Science Support Program (USSSP) associated with the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2017 workshops included the <strong>DCO-C-DEBI Deep Life Cultivation Workshop<\/strong> (5-6 November, Rotorua, New Zealand) organized by Jan Amend, Doug Bartlett and Fumio Inagaki, the first annual <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/cms.eas.ualberta.ca\/Geobiology2017\/\">International Geobiology Society Conference<\/a><\/strong> (11-14 June, Banff, Alberta, Canada), the <a href=\"http:\/\/usoceandiscovery.org\/workshop-drilling-axial-seamount\/\"><strong>Axial Seamount Drilling Workshop<\/strong><\/a> (11-13 October, LDEO), and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/usoceandiscovery.org\/workshop-jr-assessment\/\">Assessment of the JOIDES Resolution in Meeting the Challenges of the IODP Science Plan<\/a><\/strong> (26-27 September, Denver).<\/li>\n<li>2018 workshops included <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018C-DEBIworkshop_MicroorgsOrganicCarbon.pdf\">Microorganisms and Organic Carbon in the Marine Subsurface<\/a><\/strong>, (March 11-13, Knoxville, TN; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0012825219305720?via%3Dihub#ac0005\">workshop publication<\/a>), <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018C-DEBI-CCB_EvolutionWorkshop.pdf\">C-DEBI\/CCB (Center for Computational Biology) Evolution Workshop<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(March 22-23, Simons Foundation Flatiron Institute), and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/DeepSeaMiningMicrobesWorkshop_Report4CDEBI.pdf\">Deep Sea Mining Impacts on Microbial Ecosystem Services<\/a><\/strong> (April 18-19, Bigelow Laboratory).<\/li>\n<li>2019 workshops included the 2nd annual <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.eas.ualberta.ca\/geobiology2019\/\">International Geobiology Society Conference<\/a><\/strong> (June 9-13, Banff, Alberta, Canada), the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/scgc.bigelow.org\/scgc-workshop-2019\/\">Microbial Single Cell Genomics Workshop<\/a><\/strong> (September 22-26, Bigelow Laboratory), and the <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.31219\/osf.io\/7xkpq\"><strong>C-DEBI NextGen Workshop<\/strong><\/a> (November 9-11, Monterey, CA) organized by C-DEBI early career researchers Ben Tully, Jackie Goordial and Sarah Hu.<\/li>\n<li>Due to travel limitations during the COVID-19 pandemic, the workshops in 2020 included the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grc.org\/geobiology-conference\/2020\/\">Geobiology Gordon Research Conference<\/a><\/strong> (January 12-17, Galveston, TX), while the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/conferences.au.dk\/microenergy2022\/\">International Workshop on Microbial Life under Extreme Energy Limitation<\/a><\/strong> was postponed until 2022 (September 5-9, Sandbjerg Manor, Denmark).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/outputs-resources\/meetings-and-workshops\/introduction-to-bioinformatics-workshop\/\">2015-2017 Introduction to Bioinformatics Workshop<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nDesigned to be interactive and hands-on by C-DEBI\u2019s Bioinformatic Specialist, Dr. Benjamin Tully, the C-DEBI \u2018Introduction to Bioinformatics\u2019 workshop provides a baseline for geoscientists interested in the basics of bioinformatic processing for microbial genomic data.

Subsequently, a\u00a0workshop on the origins and movement of life was held in conjunction with the Deep Carbon Observatory in 2016.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/outputs-resources\/meetings-and-workshops\/2010-2014-research-theme-team-workshops\/\">2010-2014 Research Theme Team Workshops<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nIn the initial phase of C-DEBI, the following four themes were the focus of C-DEBI research, providing a conceptual framework for scientific investigation supported by C-DEBI across a broad scientific community:\u00a0<em>Activity<\/em>, <em>Extent of Life<\/em>, <em>Limits to Life<\/em>, and <em>Evolution and Survival<\/em>. For each of these themes, Theme Team Leaders regularly brought together experts within and outside of C-DEBI to identify new research directions within each theme. Based on these \u201cthink tank\u201d conversations, the Theme Team Leaders developed Requests for Proposals for the initial phase of C-DEBI small grants and fellowship programs.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/outputs-resources\/meetings-and-workshops\/2008-2014-kickoff-and-debi-rcn-meetings\/\">2008-2014 Kickoff and DEBI RCN (Research Coordination Network) Meetings<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nIn 2008, a dedicated &#8220;kickoff&#8221; meeting identified circa 30 &#8220;founding members&#8221; and developed a framework for developing a community\u00a0and a sustained institute for deep biosphere research.
