After the success of the previous two editions of the Biomed Grid School, a thrid edition will be held in Varenna on Lake Como, Italy from 10-15th May 2008.

Target audience
The Biomed Grid School is aimed at biomedical research students, post-docs, and senior researchers with an interest in using or developing biomedical applications for distributed data integration and distributed computing environments.


The aim of the school is to provide bioinformatics and biomedical developers the opportunity:
 
to learn how to use new services and functionalities made available by gLite middleware releases
to implement applications on grid infrastructures (EGEE, EGEE related projects) using gLite
to build high level interfaces for data provision and management using web and grid services
to improve skills in Web Services, Workflow technology and Grid services for Bioinformatics e Biomedical applications
to learn how to generate complex workflows for Bioinformatics and System Biology analysis


Application requirements
We invite applications from biomed researchers who have recently started or are about to start working on Grid projects in the bioinformatics and biomedical fields. Basic programming skills are required.       
We expect to accept up to 20 students at the Biomed grid school. Students may come from any country.

The Biomed Grid School Participation Form is available on the Registration page of the School website.
