Workshop Bioinformatics Training for Life Scientists:
Showcases and 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 website: http://www.eccb12.org/WS4
