The ESCS is a biennial interdisciplinary symposium that brings together students and young researchers from computational biology, bioinformatics, systems biology, and related fields. This symposium offers you a great opportunity to present your research to an international audience, get insights into hot topics and newly developed methods and build a network within the computational biology community of Europe. We are pleased to announce our three confirmed keynote speakers Kris Laukens (University of Antwerp, Belgium), Yves Van de Peer (Ghent University, Belgium), and Nuria Lopez-Bigas (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain). The symposium includes ice-breaking, oral presentations, keynote talks, poster presentations and an evening social event that offer you the opportunity to get to know fellow young scientists from all over Europe in a casual setting. Please visit our website http://escs2016.iscbsc.org/ regularily as more information will be announced soon. For registration details, please visit http://www.eccb2016.org/registration/.
