The 2nd C-BIG Internal Conference


Online


30 March 2022

The CING Bioinformatics Group is announcing its second internal conference where the members of the Group as well as a number of invited students and collaborating scientists will present their work to each other. This is not a public event and it is considered as an avenue for research update, brainstorming and for promoting further synergies.

Information:

The Conference will take place online using the Zoom platform, on 30/3/2022 @ 9:00 local time and will be a whole-day event with intermediate breaks.

All participants will have 15 minutes to present their work(s). They can focus on a specific work but it is highly recommended to take a few minutes for giving a synopsis of their running projects. Short discussion will follow after each presentation.

The participants should send only the title of their talk to georges@cing.ac.cy till 23/3/2022.
