One of the declared goals of the ISCB Student Council is to support outstanding students in the field of Computational Biology. This is why we regularly team up with sponsors of the symposium to provide awards for the best posters and best presentation as well as travel fellowships.

The awards ceremony will take place during the ISCB Student Council Open Business Meeting on Monday, July 21st from 12:45 pm to 2:15 pm.
