  SIB PhD Training Network Retreat - 10 Years

  Bienne/Biel, 25-27 September 2017

  The annual retreats are exclusively reserved to the Training Network (TN) members and combine, in a relaxed atmosphere, interactive sessions in which the students can both present their work as well as network with their peers and with a speaker/tutor, usually a Group Leader from a Swiss University. Furthermore, we organize a social/fun activity.

  This year we are very happy to invite the following speakers:

  • Prof. Christophe Dessimoz, Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Lausanne; Computational Evolutionary Biology and Genomics, SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics.
  • Prof. Bart Deplancke, Laboratory of Systems Biology and Genetics (LSBG), EPFL and SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics.
