Dear,<br>
<br>
can the following message be forwarded to colleagues from Eastern
European countries?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
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 <strong>Generation and Analysis of Next Generation
Sequence (NGS) data</strong>.<br>
<br>
This two-week workshop is sponsored by the <b>European Science
Foundation (ESF)</b>, 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.<br>
<br>
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. <u>The
initiative will fund the generation of up to 5 Next Generation
Sequencing datasets, specifically resutling from invited proposals from
Eastern European countries.</u> 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.<br>
<br>
The deadline for project submission is July 15. <br>
