JOIN OUR WORKSHOP As a prelude to the ABLS conference, VIB TRAINING AT VIB is organizing a workshop to help biologists and computational biologists to better understand prerequisites once planning large data generating experiments. The course will be held on 16th of March from 9am at the Provinciehuis, Leuven. More info on the workshop will follow soon. EXPAND YOUR NETWORK Networking is an indispensible part of our conference concept. A good balance between inspirational talks and networking opportunities gives you the opportunity to grow your network.

EXPLORE THE HISTORICAL UNIVERSITY CITY OF LEUVEN The members of the Organizing committee selected the historical center of the city of Leuven as the setting for this two-day conference. Leuven is known for housing the Leuven university, which is one of the oldest universities of Western Europe. Education and science is not the only strength of the region. The city is also home to the Anheuser-Busch InBev company, one of the world's largest brewing groups producing the Leuven-based Stella-Artois beer as one of their flagship brands. <http://vib.cmail2.com/t/r-l-fdlirlt-djkrkilitk-v/> <http://vib.cmail2.com/t/r-l-fdlirlt-djkrkilitk-e/> <http://vib.cmail2.com/t/r-l-fdlirlt-djkrkilitk-s/> KU Leuven <http://vib.cmail2.com/t/r-l-fdlirlt-djkrkilitk-g/> Lonely Planet's view on Leuven <http://vib.cmail2.com/t/r-l-fdlirlt-djkrkilitk-w/> Brewery visit: Stella Artois <http://vib.cmail2.com/t/r-l-fdlirlt-djkrkilitk-yd/> We hope to have triggered your interest in our conference.
