The first European Student Council Symposium (ESCS1) will be held on September 26, 2010 in Ghent, Belgium, as a satellite meeting of the European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB).

 

=== ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: July 17, 2010 ===

 

 

The European Student Council Symposium is a forum for students and young researchers in the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics. Participants will have the opportunity to present their work to an international audience, build a network within the computational biology community and develop important soft skills in an environment that fosters exchange of ideas and knowledge.

 

Ghent is one of Europe's most exciting medieval towns, a glorious eclectic city with spectacular buildings and a vivid cultural experience. Ghent is directly accessible by train from Brussels airport. The conference venue is highly convenient and located in a beautiful park within the city center.

 

We invite you to submit an abstract. This is your chance to present your work! We accept abstracts covering both scientific studies as well as novel tools and applications in the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics. A few abstracts will be selected for oral presentations. Other interesting contributions will be accepted for poster presentations.

 

Looking forward to receiving your abstract!
