BREW – Bioinformatics Research and Education Workshop – is a series of events organised in collaboration between multiple European PhD programs in bioinformatics. It is open for participation for NORBIS PhD students and is particularly well suited for students in their first or second year – since it gives training in writing of manuscripts, reviewing other students’ manuscripts, and presenting and discussing in a friendly, although international, group.

The next BREW workshop will take place in Helsinki, Finland, 19th-20th May 2016, and the deadline to submit an abstract is 8th February 2016. We will coordinate the Norwegian participation in BREW through NORBIS, so please email us at contact-norbis@uib.no before February 1st 2016, if you are interested in taking part. Note that NORBIS will cover travel expenses for its members!
