BREW 2016: Bioinformatics Research and Education Workshop

May 19-20, 2016
Hosted by: University of Helsinki and Aalto University, Finland

BREW is a workshop for PhD students in bioinformatics and computational biology, which aims to give an introduction to scientific conferences, including submission, peer review and presentation of scientific papers. All participants must submit a paper and take part in reviewing papers from other participants in order to attend the workshop. After the review deadline, students have a chance to make alterations to their paper and deliver a final version. All participants will present their paper at the conference-style meeting.

We're also in Facebook https://www.facebook.com/brew2016/.

BREW is open for students and supervisors from the PhD programs in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology in participating universities. For particular details, please contact the organizers via email.
