Workshops/Mini Courses

Workshops/Mini Courses

Deadline: July 31, 2014

ISCB-LA 2014 Conference calls for submissions to the Workshop/ Mini Courses track.  The purpose of the workshop track is to bring together people with common interests to discuss defined topics. 

Proposals for Workshops should be submitted via the online submission system here by end of day July 31, 2014.

Submissions must include up to a one-page description of the topic, its relevance to the community, and the reasons for planning a workshop on this topic at ISCB-LA 2014. These explanations could be followed by a list of topics for possible presentations with one-paragraph descriptions. Finally, a draft time schedule for the workshop should be presented. A finalized list of speaker names is not necessary but may add validity to the proposal. If you list invited speakers as "accepted", please make sure that they agree to speak understanding the financial constraints described below. Submitters should briefly describe their qualification/experience in organizing a workshop.

All submissions will be evaluated by a committee considering the following criteria:

• Relevance, interest, and value of the topic to attendees.
• Complementarity to the conference program.
• Completeness, clarity, and quality of the workshop proposal.
• Qualification of the submitter(s) to organize the workshop.
• Likely success of the proposed workshop.

Submission Topics:

Bioinformatics of Disease and Treatment
Computational aspects
Comparative Genomics
Education --The examination of how different models of learning and educational programming in bioinformatics (e.g. tutorials, workshops, courses and e-learning) can be used to impact the understanding and use of bioinformatics across different audiences.
Epigenetics
Functional Genomics
Genome Organization and Annotation
Genetic Variation Analysis
Metagenomics
Pathogen informatics
Population Genetics, Variation and Evolution

LATIN AMERICAN STUDENT COUNCIL SYMPOSIUM

27th of October, 2014 - Belo Horizonte, Brazil - prior to the ISCB-LA conference.

Submit your abstract now for the 1st Latin American Student Council Symposium organized by the ISCB Student Council!

The Latin American Student Council Symposium 2014 will bring together young computational biologists from several research areas and regions of the world. As the central part of our symposium, 10 students will be selected for oral presentations from the submitted abstracts. Being a small and student focused meeting, this gives you a better chance of being selected for an oral presentation. This is your chance to present your work to an international audience of young scientists. We welcome abstracts covering both scientific studies as well as novel tools and applications in the field of computational biology and bioinformatics.

Please note that submissions for LA-SCS is separate from submissions for the main ISCB-LA conference. Abstracts submitted to ISCB-LA may be re-submitted to LA-SCS too!

We hope to be able to offer Travel Fellowships to some students too. Travel Fellowship information will be sent to eligible students after the end of abstract submission.

Early submission deadline closes on Aug 31st 2014. Submit Now!
