Fundamental courses

Fundamental courses, taught by a range of experts in the Dutch bioinformatics & systems biology community, are organised once per year. In 5 days (3 EC), they provide a solid foundation in core technologies in bioinformatics and systems biology, laced with examples of applications. The advanced courses (below) build on this foundation. Pre-registration for the courses is possible via this form.

Advanced courses

The advanced programme consists of a set of 5-day bioinformatics and systems biology courses (3 EC) that are offered once every 2 years. Each course deals with a specific topic in current bioinformatics and systems biology. Each course is organized by experts and exposes students to both fundamental approaches and recent developments. Most build on methods introduced in the fundamental courses, though depending on prior education it may not be needed to follow these first. Pre-registration for the courses is possible via this form.

Other courses

Other courses and workshops that do not fit in the above-mentioned categories. These courses may have a different format and be offered occasionally only. Furthermore, they are often co-organized with other organisations. Pre-registration for the courses is possible via this form.
