<strong>Workshop Bioinformatics Training for Life Scientists:
Showcases and Challenges from tutors’ perspectives<br>
</strong><strong><br>
</strong> <b>Call for contributions</b><br>
<br>
September 9, 2012, Basel, Switzerland (a Satellite event of the
European Conference on Computational Biology ECCB'12)<br>
<br>
This workshop represents a platform where those involved in
bioinformatics training to life scientists can meet, confront and
share experiences, as well as discuss future directions and
collaboration in joint efforts. Topics will include:<br>
- Current state of the art and challenges in bioinformatics training
for life scientists in the world.<br>
- Specific challenges for those delivering bioinformatics training –
organizers and teachers - and how we can address these.<br>
- Successful showcases of teaching bioinformatics to life science
researchers.<br>
- Exchange views on the future of Bioinformatics Training, going
global: building and strengthening networks of trainers, possible
collaborations, international developments, and getting recognition
for training efforts.<br>
<br>
<b>Abstract Submission</b><br>
Participants can submit their contributions on one of the following
topics:<br>
1. Successful showcases of face-to-face bioinformatics teaching to
life science researchers<br>
2. Successful showcases of e-learning solutions for teaching
bioinformatics to life science researchers<br>
<br>
The abstracts will be reviewed by the organisers and they will be
selected for oral presentation according to the relevance to the
sessions, innovation and country balance. <br>
<br>
Instructions for the abstracts submission can be found in the
