Organized by: OIST
Deadline for abstracts/proposals: 15 March 2011

The aim of the OIST Summer School and Workshop “Quantitative Evolutionary and Comparative Genomics” is to provide opportunities for young researchers with quantitative interests, skills, or backgrounds to learn how they can contribute to the splitting edge of genome science. QECG is a combination of lectures and a workshop. We will invite around 34 graduate students and post-graduate researchers. OIST will provide lodging and meals during the course and support travel expenses.
*OIST is deeply committed to the advancement of women in science, in Japan and worldwide. Women are strongly encouraged to apply.*
