The 7-day workshop (August 16th-22nd 2009) is the third in a successful series, and has the ambitious goal to introduce advanced methods and applications of computational biology in the field of metagenomics.
Participation is restricted to 20 graduate students and postdocs, who will work on biological problems that could even lead to scientific discoveries made during the course. For all participants, fellowships will be made available covering housing, subsistence and registration. No funding are available for travel costs.
Closing date for applications: May 15th, 2009
