The Swedish Bioinformatics Advisory Program
Grand meeting 2, 2017 (November 23-24)
Registration
Please register your participation in the google sheet below at the latest October 16. Add ‘1' or ‘0’ at your name for each session column so that I can prepare groups and alike according to who is actually present when. (All text in the sheet is immediately saved, you don’t need to press any 'save' button). Please treat the registration as binding after Ocotber 16 as late participant changes will cause me substantial extra work.

Preparations
PhD students:
Each PhD student will get at least a 1-hour feedback session on her/his project, in small groups (3 projects per group). Make sure that you bring material/slides/discussion points readily available for these small group discussions. Your material should be as clear and focused as possible; it is up to you to prepare well to make these meetings valuable! I have created groups here, and you are most welcome to distribute some background info to your group already before the meeting if you like:
PhD supervisors and advisors
You basically don’t need to prepare anything, but these meetings obviously rely on your presence and that you participate actively in the discussions and create a positive and encouraging atmosphere to support the PhD students, and creates valuable connections.
