Dear all, The 5th international CAPRI meeting (Critical Assessment of Predicted Interactions) will take place in Utrecht on April 17-19. This meeting brings together leading experts in the field of modelling biomolecular interactions and functions as an important catalyst for innovation. The meeting is open to all interested groups, even if not participating to CAPRI. The three day program is divided into a number of thematic sessions and short presentations. It will host 20 regular lectures and 10 short talks where we will grant the stage to young researchers, mainly post-docs and PhD students. Following the tradition of the meeting, the selection of speakers wil be made based on the submitted abstracts. Selected speakers are also invited to contribute to the special issue of Proteins dedicated to CAPRI that will be published late 2013. In addition, poster sessions will take place during lunches and in the first evening with welcome drinks. Posters will be on display for the entire duration of the meeting. Registration is going well and we have already received quite some abstracts for contributions. We have extended the deadline for submitting abstracts for talks to January 20th.
