LAST CALL: MedILS/FEBS Summer School in Computational Biology 2009
Dear all,
The registration deadline for the 2009 FEBS Summer School in Computational Biology at MedILS is coming up in about two weeks. I would like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to this course and to motivate you, your collaborators, or people in your group to take a look at the curriculum and consider applying. The course teaches techniques and numerical simulation methods for spatiotemporal modeling in biology. Please feel free to forward this information to anyone interested.
I would especially like to point out the FEBS YTF fellowship that will cover the full registration, accommodation, and travel expenses for eligible participants. For eligibility, see http://www.febs2009.ethz.ch/Participation_and_Fee.html. Participation is thus virtually free of charge!
This course will be held as a FEBS practical 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.
Please find the call for participation and the course description attached. More information and the application form can be found at: www.febs2009.ethz.ch
Application deadline is June 1, 2009 and the course can accommodate 25 participants that will be admitted based on their CV and letter of motivation.
The course will be held at the Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences (MedILS: www.medils.org) on the coast of the Adriatic sea, located in the UNESCO-protected ancient city of Split, Croatia.
MedILS, sometimes dubbed “the Warm Spring Harbor”, is aiming to follow the paradigm of its famous American role model by combining research with vigorous workshop activities. As such, it provides superb lecture, housing, and lodging facilities at a reasonable cost. Warm, informal atmosphere coupled with the presence of active research labs provides an ideal venue for a workshop of this scope.
I hope to see some of you at MedILS this summer.
All the best,
Ivo Sbalzarini
