What is the BioSapiens European School in Bioinformatics?

There is a clear need to train and recruit creative and innovative young scientists in Bioinformatics and at the same time to help users located in experimental labs to keep up with the developments in the field. The BioSapiens Network of Excellence will provide extensive training at all levels, from basic courses for experimentalists to more advanced training for experts.

The Biosapiens Network has established a Permanent European School in Bioinformatics (ESB), which is held twice a year in a different country every time. The Permanent European School in Bioinformatics is intensive and has a substantial practical component. Its intent is to give a basic overview of the methods and tools available to the community. It is aimed at inexperienced users and newcomers to the field, and will cover five themes (see the detailed programmes).

The 9th school BioSapiens European School in Bioinformatics is co-organized by the Laboratoire de Bioinformatique des Génomes et des Réseaux at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles and the BioSapiens European Network of Excellence.
