Dear colleagues,

 

RSG Belgium, the regional student group of the International Society for Computational Biology, is organising the annual Student Symposium in bioinformatics and computational biology on 5^th May 2020 at UCLouvain, in Brussels. 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-05-05-2020/.

 

We are looking forward to seeing you at UCLouvain!

 

Best regards,

Sofia Papadimitriou
