The main goal of this event is to provide a forum for young researchers and students in bioinformatics where they can present their work, get updated about current research topics in Belgium and network with their peers. We are happy to have prof. dr. *Laurent Gatto* (de Duve Institute) give a keynote lecture on research reproducibility. We are also excited to announce that we will accompany the symposium in the morning with a *workshop* by prof. dr. *Jan Aerts* (Data Science Institute at UHasselt), who will walk us through the most important concepts in *data visualisation for biological data* and provide pen&paper design exercises. The event is free for all participants (including a lunch break), but registration for the workshop and the symposium is *_required_* through this form: https://bit.ly/2wssYT5. The registration deadline is *20^th * *April*. If you would like to present your work either as an oral presentation or a poster, the abstract submission deadline (through the same form) is *April 5^th *. You can find all relevant information about the event and updates on our website: http://www.rsg-belgium.iscbsc.org/event/student-symposium/student-symposium-....
