The Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP) brings together a diverse group of scientists, from deep learning experts to NMR specialists, all aimed at developing accurate prediction algorithms that can effectively characterize the structural aspects of biomolecules relevant to their functions. Engagement within the CASP community has traditionally been limited to the prediction season and the conference, with limited discourse in the 1.5 years between CASP seasons. CASP special interest groups (SIGs) were established in 2023 to encourage continuous dialogue within the community. The online seminar series has drawn global participation from across disciplines and career stages. This has facilitated cross-disciplinary discussions fostering collaborations. The archives of these seminars have become a vital learning tool for newcomers to the field, lowering the barrier to entry.
