SystemsX.ch Summer Course in Computational Biology

– 01/25/2010Posted in: Conferences, Seminars & Workshops

from SystemsX.ch:

Dear SystemsX.ch community,
I would like to draw your attention to our annual summer school in computational biology. In 2010, this course will be held as a SystemsX.ch summer course with emphasis on practical implementation and training of methods for modeling and simulating biological systems in space and time. The course is targeted at Master students, PhD students, and postdocs with little background in modeling and simulation, and minimal experience in computer use (basic Matlab skills) and basic mathematics.

Event: SystemsX.ch Summer Course in Computational Biology
 Date: August 17-24, 2010
Location: Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences (MedILS), Split, Croatia

Application deadline: June 1, 2010
Maximum number of participants: 25 participants
(20 full fellowships are available, covering the full registration fee plus travel costs)

All SystemsX.ch Day Nov 1&2 Geneva

– 01/21/2010Posted in: Conferences, future highlights

The annual All SystemsX.ch Day is the largest event organized by SystemsX.ch and counts around 400 guests every year. It is a Swiss-wide networking and information exchange event, which attracts scientists, politicians, industry partners, and the public media. Besides being the main location where new projects are presented or proposed, it also promotes education and training opportunities in Systems Biology.
It takes place in rotating cities in Switzerland, according to the location of the hosting institution co-organizing the event, which is always one of the 11 partners of SystemsX.ch. Every year there is a guest speaker invited to talk about the latest news and discoveries in Systems Biology. Additionally, researchers from SystemsX.ch projects present their projects and results. The event ends with a scientific poster competition, which recognizes the best poster with a generous award for successful PhD students or postdocs.

The All SystemsX.ch Day provides scientists and non-scientists alike a great opportunity to exchange their knowledge, interests, and needs, while simultaneously acting as an initial platform for future research cooperation.

Geneva (details to be announced)
Dates: November 1 and 2, 2010
