The Student Council Symposium aims at bringing together young computational biologists from all areas of research and parts of the world. As the central part of our symposium 12 student presentations will be selected from the submitted abstracts. This is your chance to present your work! We accept abstracts covering both scientific studies as well as novel tools and applications in the field of computational biology and bioinformatics. Travel fellowships are available (see website) and awards will be given to best poster and best presentation. Furthermore, the Wellcome Trust provides 4 travel fellowships for students from developing countries that cover travel and lodging expenses. *Submission website*: http://symposium.iscbsc.org/content/submissions *Travel Fellowship information*: http://symposium.iscbsc.org/content/travel-fellowships *Room sharing information*: http://www.iscbsc.org/forum-topic/student-council/6th-student-council-sympos... *General information*: http://symposium.iscbsc.org/ Important dates: *April 30*: 6th Student Council Symposium Abstract submission and Travel Fellowships submission close *May 14*: Travel Fellowship winners and Abstract acceptance notification We look forward to receiving your abstract, Thomas Abeel Chair, 6th ISCB Student Council Symposium Magali Michaut Co-Chair, 6th ISCB Student Council Symposium Gold Sponsor of the event: EMBL-EBI
