In order to foster the VIB-wide collaboration among bioinformaticians, we would like to organise open discussion sessions around several field-related topics. The idea is to organize 3 short presentations (max. 15 min.) on innovative matter per topic, followed by 30 min. discussions each. The day will be closed by a plenary brainstorm session on ideas which have been put forward to pursue in the parallel sessions.
