Are you passionate about computational biology and dedicated to sharing your knowledge? We invite you to contribute to our tutorial program by submitting your proposal.
Our tutorial program lies at the core of our educational mission. We aim to cultivate expertise and offer practical training in the latest topics relevant to bioinformatics. The purpose of the Tutorials program is to build knowledge and provide hands-on training in "cutting-edge" topics relevant to the bioinformatics field. Tutorials offer participants an opportunity to get an introduction to important established topics in bioinformatics, to learn about new areas of bioinformatics research, or to develop advanced skills in areas about which they are already knowledgeable.
Tutorials may include any form of presentation such as brief talks or panel discussions but should include hands-on exercises. Tutorials serve an educational function and are expected to provide a balanced perspective on a field of research. They should not focus on the presenters' own research or software, unless balanced with other tools in the same realm. However, tutorials on broadly used bioinformatics tools will be considered.
ISCBacademy tutorials are virtual conducted through ISCB Nucleus. Tutorials can be up to four hours in length held on one day or longer held over two days. Scheduling of the tutorial will based on the trainers availability.
Tutorial proposals should contain the following information in a maximum of 4 pages:
The final proposal must be uploaded as a PDF file only.
Deadline for Tutorial Proposals: Monday, April 15
All tutorial submissions will be evaluated by a committee, which will consider the following criteria:
Successful tutorial proposals will be notified by April 30, 2024.
The tutorial speakers agree to provide participants with teaching materials that include:
Tutorials programs will be recorded to serve as online learning tools following the conference. All presenters must agree to allow ISCB to post the recordings of the Tutorials program as a requirement of acceptance.
The authors will grant copyright to tutorial materials to the ISCB for a period to extend from acceptance through December 31, 2024, and they agree that their materials may be made available for use in perpetuity through ISCB.
