BREW is a workshop for PhD students in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, that aims to give an introduction to scientific conferences, including submission, peer review and presentation of scientific papers. All participants must submit a paper and take part in reviewing papers from other participants in order to attend the workshop. After the review deadline, students have a chance to make alterations to their paper and deliver a final version. All participants will present their paper at the conference-style meeting.

Please register by sending a 100-200 word abstract to brew2014@cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de.

Please send your paper submission in PDF-format (3-5 pages) to brew2014@cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de.

BREW is open for students and supervisors from the PhD programs in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology in participating universities. For particular details, please contact the organizers via email.

The workshop is free of charge and local expenses will be covered.
