Selection criteria

We expect that students will be actively conducting research in a field involving some or all aspects of the material taught in the course. Thus, our selection criteria will focus on estimating the degree to which the students can use what is taught in the course, to be applied to their current research projects.

We will also look at the previous exposure students have had to bioinformatics and computational approaches to biology. We understand that it is unlikely that students will have advanced bioinformatics experience, therefore, we will select participants based on their research abstract, motivation statement, and CV, assessing the relevance of the training material presented at the course. We will prefer students with a recommendation letter from their current supervisor, stating the relevance of the course in their work.

We will provide a limited number of grants to cover travel expenses, registration fees and/or accommodation costs of eligible participants. Please tick the appropriate fields under the ‘registration’ section.

We will seek equity during the selection process by considering participants from diverse backgrounds and genders.

Abstract guidelines

We expect an abstract no more than 250 words explaining the current research work of the participants.

In the same document, please enclose a short CV, a motivation statement (maximum 250 words) with information on your current research and the relevance of computational biology in your work. In addition, please submit a short recommendation letter from your current supervisor to justify your participation in this course. These documents will be evaluated both for the participation in the course and eligibility for the financial support of the candidates.
