AIMS AND SCOPE
The goal of the summer school is to give
state-of-the-art knowledge on computational methods in the systems
biology field. This includes both tutorial-type lectures on established
methods as well as presentations on recent developments in the field.
The program includes invited
talks by internationally renowned scientists. The meeting also gives
the students, speakers and local organizers a chance to interact
in an informal atmosphere. The program also includes a student poster
session and some recreational activities in Tampere.
Targeted audience is Ph.D. students and advanced M.Sc.
students, selected with an international call. We also invite post-docs
who work on the same or related fields to attend, although priority is
given to doctoral students.
