Challenges from tutors' perspectives
**
* *Call for contributions*

September 9, 2012, Basel, Switzerland (a Satellite event of the European 
Conference on Computational Biology ECCB'12)

This workshop represents a platform where those involved in 
bioinformatics training to life scientists can meet, confront and share 
experiences, as well as discuss future directions and collaboration in 
joint efforts. Topics will include:
- Current state of the art and challenges in bioinformatics training for 
life scientists in the world.
- Specific challenges for those delivering bioinformatics training -- 
organizers and teachers - and how we can address these.
- Successful showcases of teaching bioinformatics to life science 
researchers.
- Exchange views on the future of Bioinformatics Training, going global: 
building and strengthening networks of trainers, possible 
collaborations, international developments, and getting recognition for 
training efforts.

*Abstract Submission*
Participants can submit their contributions on one of the following topics:
1. Successful showcases of face-to-face bioinformatics teaching to life 
science researchers
2. Successful showcases of e-learning solutions for teaching 
bioinformatics to life science researchers

The abstracts will be reviewed by the organisers and they will be 
selected for oral presentation according to the relevance to the 
sessions, innovation and country balance.

Instructions for the abstracts submission can be found in the workshop
