ESCS 2012 - The second European Student Council Symposium (ESCS)

The second European Student Council Symposium (ESCS) will take place on Saturday, 8 September 2012. Its objective is to create a scientific and social network for PhD students and postdocs in the field of computational biology.
During this one-day symposium young researchers will have an opportunity to give oral and poster presentations, engage in an interactive workshop and listen to a keynote lecture by a prominent bioinformatician. The symposium is a great chance to network, exchange ideas, and get more involved with the bioinformatics community.
