Dear Colleagues,

The deadline for submitting your abstract to the 8th edition of the BeNeLux Bioinformatics Conference is approaching!

The theme of this year's conference is: "Bioinformatics at all scales of life".

Since 2005, the BeNeLux Bioinformatics Conference gives bioinformaticians, from the BeNeLux and beyond, the opportunity to discuss their results and build new collaborations, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. This year's edition will be enhanced by the presence of three distinguished keynote speakers: Alfonso Valencia (Spanish National Cancer Research Center, http://bit.ly/14SAITQ), Anna Tramontano (University of Rome "La Sapienza", http://www.biocomputing.it) and Jim Haseloff (Plant Synthetic Biology, University of Cambridge, http://www.haseloff-lab.org).

We invite you to submit an abstract for an oral presentation (20 available slots: 6 long, 14 short) and/or a poster presentation.

Contributions from all fields of bioinformatics are welcome and encouraged. 

We have provided a template to use for submission through the EasyChair system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bbc2013 .

Details on the submission procedure can be found at http://bbc2013.ibsquare.be/content/call-abstracts .

We hope to see you all in Brussels!
