The ISCB Student Council Welcomes You!
Welcome to the ISCB Student Council, the student organization of the International Society for Computational Biology.
Our mission is to promote the development of the next generation of computational biologists. We achieve our goal through provision of scientific events, networking opportunities, soft-skills training, educational resources and career advice, while attempting to influence policy processes affecting science and education.
The Student Council website is a resource for the global computational biology student community and we offer many features that allow you to get in touch with your peers and to find out about events and initiatives for computational biology students - no matter where in the world you are. If you have questions or comments don't hesitate to contact us.
Read on below for the latest news on everything Student Council-related.
Cloud computing workshop at "Beyond the Genome" Conference

Mentoring Survey: Are looking for a mentor? Do you want to be one?
The Education Committee is interested to find out about your views regarding mentoring schemes that pair students with more senior members of the computational biology community.
For now our goal is to establish if there is interest in such an offering among Student Council members and members of our Regional Student Groups. For this purpose the committee has created a very brief survey that we would like you to fill out to let us know about your opinion. Please participate, thank you!

Funds Awarded to RSGs
Thanks to an allocation of funds from the ISCB, the Student Council is providing funding support to selected proposals for events or initiatives from our RSGs. Of the 10 proposals that were received, at this time we were able to fully fund proposals from RSG Eastern Africa and RSG India and partially fund a proposal from RSG Brazil. You can find more details here.
