Dear Colleagues, On 26 and 27 September, we organize a free f-TALES conference on Big Data in Biomedicine in Ghent. Needless to say, this is a big and important topic that is relevant to all of us, and should therefore interest many of you. This conference (did I mention that it was free?) is specifically geared towards PhD students and postdocs, and covers a variety of interesting topics, through inspiring top speakers from all over the world. Moreover, there are 12 slots for selected flash talks by participants, as well as ample poster presentation opportunities. Prizes will be awarded for both top posters as well as top flash talks, so there could easily be something in it for you! Attached you can find the programme, and the link to the conference website and registration, which is also provided below. https://ftales.be/gent-2018/homebigdatabiomedice Importantly, the abstract submission deadline has been extended, so there's still time to submit your abstract! PS: feel free to forward this email to any (or any group of) interested people! PPS: But don't forget to register yourself first; when it's full, it's full :D. Very much looking forward to seeing you at this conference!
