Dear colleague, *We would like to remind you that the early-bird registration deadline for ESCS 2016 will close this Friday on 29 July! Please visit http://escs2016.iscbsc.org/escs2016-registration <http://escs2016.iscbsc.org/escs2016-registration> for more information.* 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. 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. We welcome students and young researchers from all areas of computational biology to join our community. Please help us spread the word by using the hashtag #ESCS16 on social media. Please visit our website http://escs2016.iscbsc.org/ regularly as more information will be announced soon. We look forward to welcome you in The Hague! Annika Jacobsen and Kevin Schwahn, chair and co-chair, ESCS 2016
