ELIXIR-NL tech track

 

ELIXIR Netherlands has decided to organise a parallel tech track at the BioSB 2016 conference. The parallel track will be a technology/applications track, to showcase new technologies, applications, tools and services to the scientific bioinformatics & systems biology community in the Netherlands. The track includes a general update about ELIXIR-NL activities together with an update about the ISBE activities in the Netherlands. The tracks aims at stimulating the interaction between technology development community and the the scientific community. It also wants to stimulate the interaction between ESFRI infrastructures.
