by Dave Clements
Dear Galaxy-France Community,
We are pleased to announce that early
registration<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Register>
and paper and poster abstract
submission<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Abstracts> are
now open for the 2013 Galaxy Community Conference
(GCC2013)<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013>
. GCC2013 will be held 30 June through July 2 in Oslo Norway, at the
University
of Oslo <http://uio.no/>.
GCC2013 <http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013> is an opportunity to
participate in two full days of presentations, discussions, poster
sessions, keynotes, lightning talks and breakouts, all about
high-throughput biology and the tools that support it. The conference also
includes a Training
Day<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/TrainingDay> for
the second year in a row, this year with more in-depth topic coverage, more
concurrent sessions, and more topics.
If you are a biologist or bioinformatician performing or enabling
high-throughput biological research, then please consider attending.
GCC2013 is aimed at:
- Bioinformatics tool developers and data providers
- Workflow developers and power bioinformatics users
- Sequencing and Bioinformatics core staff
- Data archival and analysis reproducibility specialists
*Early registration <http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Register>*
*saves up to 75% off regular registration costs,* and is very affordable,
with combined registration (Training
Day<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/TrainingDay> +
main meeting) starting at ~ €95 for post-docs and students. Registering
early also assures you a spot in the Training Day workshops you want to
attend. Once a Training Day session becomes full, it will be closed to new
registrations. Early registration closes 24 May.
*Abstract submission<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Abstracts>
* for oral presentations closes 12 April, and for posters on 3 May. Please
