+
+The this year [BioHackathon Europe](https://biohackathon-europe.org/index.html) in Barcelona took place between the 04.11 - 08.11. Some members from the Freiburg Galaxy Team went there and participated in various Galaxy-related project. The event was a total blast: 5 days in a remote area to work, code, have fun, eat and discuss with the 150 other participants from all Europe (even Australia)!
+
+The main projects that interacted with Galaxy were: 
+
+# [Project 20](https://github.com/elixir-europe/biohackathon-projects-2024/blob/main/11.md)
+
+Building on the achievements of BioHackathon Europe 2023, we successfully enhanced the Galaxy ecosystem by extending the capabilities of the existing Galaxy tool list table. A major milestone was addition of workflows and training leading to the the creation and of the Galaxy Communities Dock (Galaxy Codex). 
+This new resource also integrates the Galaxy Labs and allows to automatically add community resources. 
+
+This project was led by Bérénice Batut and Wendi Bacon. Paul Zierep helped with updates to the CI and minor code improvements.  
+
+The updates are available via the [Galaxy CoDex](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy_codex) GitHub repository.
+
+# [Project 21](https://github.com/elixir-europe/biohackathon-projects-2024/blob/main/21.md)
+
+This project worked on a vision of a “federated microbiome analysis service”. 
+Paul Zierep participated in the discussion involving Galaxy and Alireza Heidari supported front-end related coding.
+
+A preprint is available (Enhancing multi-omic analyses through a federated
+microbiome analysis service)[http://preview.biohackrxiv.org/papers/154602ea-ae08-42c0-bb65-0b737d282207/paper.pdf]
+
+# [Project 22](https://github.com/elixir-europe/biohackathon-projects-2024/blob/main/22.md)
+
+Project Objectives
+The objective of the project can be divided into two milestones:
+
+* Development of a workflow that connects EGA, either central or any federated node, and Galaxy through Crypt4GH protocols.
+* Galaxy's secure processing protocol: Sensitive datasets are kept encrypted throughout, with sensitive derivative results labelled as sensitive.
+
+# [Project 26](https://github.com/elixir-europe/biohackathon-projects-2024/blob/main/26.md)
+
+
+
+# Fun time
+
+And we had an overall great time joining the sport events, wine tasting and amazing food !
