NGSchool: Central European School in Bioinformatics

[Kuckunniwi]

Dear community members,

I want to present you the initiative in bioinformatics education for Central and Eastern Europe - NGSchool.

Our main idea is -- since there are a lot of workshops in Western Europe and US, but they are quite expensive for the people from Eastern Europe, we want to provide a solid training in bioinformatics for the people who can not afford it or whose institutes do not reimburse the registration fee.

We already had 3 schools:

NGSchool2016 was about general NGS data analysis (blog post);
NGSchool2017 was about single-cell sequencing and general NGS as well (blog post);
NGSchool2018 was about personalised medicine and Nanopore sequencing (the blog post will be published in 1 week).

NGSchool2019 will be held on 24-31 Oct in Poland and will be devoted to Machine Learning in Biomedicine. Blog post will be published after the school.

The call for applications was already closed, so the purpose of this post is to find researchers worldwide who share the ideas of open science and would like to collaborate or contribute. We do not know what the next school will be about, so you may propose it! Also we will look for the organization team members. More details will be published in a blog post devoted to the last school (NGSchool2018). Of course, we will need speakers and mentors and applicants for the next school, but we still don't know what it will be about.

Here is our web site:

Please, use the contact form with all the proposals you have!

PS: I'll be checking this post, so if you have any comments but don't want to send an email - leave it here, any feedback would be welcome! (even if you'll say that this is an advertisement and it is annoying - still counts)
