<p><span lang="EN-GB">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">I’m excited to inform you about the upcoming Student Council Symposium (#SCS2023) and would like to request your help in promoting the event and encouraging the submission of abstracts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">The International Society for Computational Biology Student Council (ISCB-SC) and its Regional Student Groups are organizing the 19th Student Council Symposium (SCS) on
<b>July 23, 2023</b>, as a <b>hybrid</b> <b>event</b> preceding the ISMB/ECCB 2023 conference in
<b>Lyon</b>, France.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">The symposium offers a unique opportunity for students and early-career researchers to present their work to an international audience, build their network within the vibrant community of early-career Computational Biology researchers,
and develop soft skills in an environment that fosters the exchange of ideas and knowledge.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">Our program features two keynotes from renowned scientists in the Computational Biology field, namely prof. Anaïs Baudot (CNRS, Marseille, France) and prof. Burkhard Rost (Technical University of Munich). In addition, we will include talks
by students and Early Career Researchers, a poster session, and roundtable sessions to encourage the interaction among participants.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">It would be great if you could share this message with anyone who might be interested to join the symposium or present research to our audience by submitting an abstract.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">The deadline for abstract submissions is </span><strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">May 15, 2023</span></strong><span lang="EN-GB">. For registration details, please visit
