_ISCB Student Council Symposium 2013_ *The ISCB Student Council Symposium will be held on July 19th (directly preceding ISMB/ECCB 2013) in Berlin, Germany.* The Student Council Symposium is a forum for students, post docs, and young researchers in the fields of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics. Participants have the opportunity to present their work to an international audience, build a network within the computational biology community and develop important soft skills in an environment that fosters exchange of ideas and knowledge. We encourage you to submit an abstract and to bring a poster for showcasing your work at the Symposium's poster session. As a central part of the Symposium, ten abstracts will be selected for an oral presentation. We accept abstracts covering both scientific studies as well as novel tools and applications in the field of computational biology and bioinformatics. Travel fellowships will be available for accepted abstracts, and awards will be given to best posters and presentations. *LINKS* _Symposium website_: http://symposium.iscbsc.org/ _Submission link_: http://www.iscb.org/submissions/index.php?id=156 _Travel Fellowships information_: http://symposium.iscbsc.org/content/travel-fellowships *IMPORTANT DATES* April 16: Abstract submission deadline April 26: Travel Fellowship submission deadline April 30: Abstract acceptance notifications May 14: Travel fellowship acceptance notifications July 19th: Student Council Symposium 2013 We look forward to receiving your abstract!
