Dear all,
we are pleased to announce the SIB workshop "Bioinformatics in the
Chalet", this September:
http://www.isb-sib.ch/training/sib-phd-training-network/phd-bioinformatics-chalet-2015.html
This workshop differs from most other courses or workshops in that the
participants are isolated with a few faculty members and asked to work
in small groups with a single aim: to come up with an original research
project. We have organized this in 2011 and 2013, inspired by the
success of similar initiatives in evolutionary biology, and it worked
extremely well.
Key aspects:
- the participants, with diverse backgrounds, have to think about what
makes a good project in bioinformatics,
- the topics being discussed are absolutely bottom-up, from cancer to
evolution, and from algorithms to data analysis (or whatever the
participants come up with);
- the format of a continuous dialogue between the participants and the
faculty, and the limited number of students, stimulates interactions and
integration, which the students highly appreciated in the previous year.
This workshop is open to PhD students, advanced Master students, and
postdocs.
While "unique" is over-used, this is a rather special learning
experience, in a charming place with a breathtaking view. Applications
are treated on first come first served basis. Don't miss it!
Best regards,
Patricia
