[BBC] NGS workshop Ghent

[Michiel Van Bel]

Dear,

can the following message be forwarded to colleagues from Eastern 
European countries?




The Bioinformatics and Systems Biology division of the Department of 
Plant Systems Biology (VIB -- Ghent University) is organizing a 
scientific event from the 25th of November 2012 until the 5th of 
December 2012 about *Generation and Analysis of Next Generation Sequence 
(NGS) data*.

This two-week workshop is sponsored by the *European Science Foundation 
(ESF)*, and will discuss recent advances and future perspectives in next 
generation sequence analysis, together with the necessary applications 
on the data of user submitted projects.

In this workshop, two innovative and complementary schemes will address 
the issue of introducing advanced plant genomics to Eastern European 
countries.  We believe these initiatives could have the potential to 
achieve a step-change in plant genomics in Eastern European countries. 
_The initiative will fund the generation of up to 5 Next Generation 
Sequencing datasets, specifically resutling from invited proposals from 
Eastern European countries._ This will be followed up by a dedicated 
sequence analysis workshop, which will be open to participants across 
Europe, but at which the Next Generation Sequencing data obtained will 
be analysed. Collaborative projects are welcome, but the projects must 
be led by a group from an Eastern European country. Applicants will need 
to ensure that their one page proposal identifies an individual with 
suitable bioinformatics experience to qualify them for the subsequent 
NGS workshop.

The deadline for project submission is July 15.

kind regards,

The organizing commitee
