OPTIONAL REGISTRATION ITEMS AT ADDITIONAL FEES

 

Donate to the ISCB Travel Fellowship Campaign

 

During the registration process, you will have the opportunity to donate to the ISCB Travel Fellowship Campaign. You can make a difference in the future of computational biology and bioinformatics by supporting tomorrow’s researchers.

Student travel fellowships help propel young investigators toward important future discoveries. Join ISCB in giving students access to the principal role models within the field and help us influence the paths of scientific careers.

As federal funding opportunities continue to decline, ISCB reaches out to you to help this important initiative. Each year ISCB receives over 300 travel fellowship requests. With currently available funds, we can only support approximately 70% of these requests by providing partial funding to each recipient. Making a donation to the travel fellowship fund will enable us to support even more students with higher travel awards

SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP MEETINGS (SIGs)


ISMB/ECCB 2015 will host several one- and two-day Special Interest Group meetings on Friday, July 10 and Saturday, July 11, prior to the main ISMB/ECCB conference.

Note: SIG Registrants are not required to register for the ISMB/ECCB 2015 conference to attend a SIG meeting. You may select "SIG only" to register only for a SIG.

Registering for a SIG allows you to move freely between all SIGs that take place at the same time as the meeting for which you are registered, to the extent that the room capacities can accommodate. SIG registration does not allow access to Satellite Meetings.

Registering for a SIG:

During online registration you must register for the primary SIG of your choice on a daily basis. If you register for the first day of a two-day SIG meeting the registration system will automatically select the second day. If you want to attend only one-day of a two-day SIG, or prefer an alternate SIG on the second day, simply deselect the second day and leave empty or select the second SIG choice rather than the default choice. If registering for a two-day SIG, the registration fee is equal to two (2) daily rates.

Each SIG participant will receive a booklet of schedules for all SIGs. SIG meeting's abstracts in PDF format will be available on individual SIG websites. Lunch is included in the SIG registration fee.

Please register for the SIG in which you are most interested so that we can assign SIGs to larger and smaller rooms as needed. All SIG meetings will be held at the Convention Centre Dublin.

NOTE: SIG registrants who have registered for only one day of SIG meetings are able to participate in SIG meetings only on the day for which they have registered.
