Date: November 6, 2013 – November 6, 2013
Venue: The Genome Analysis Centre (TGAC), Norwich, United Kingdom
United Kingdom, Nov 2013
The last year has been a busy time, during which the legal framework and financial foundations have been created within and upon which GOBLET must thrive. The time is now opportune to build on those foundations, to move GOBLET forward and establish it on the international stage.
The aims of this meeting are therefore: i) to review progress during the last year, especially since the ISCB-GOBLET meeting in Berlin; ii) to congratulate and welcome the newly elected Committee Chairs and Executive Board members; and iii) to brainstorm the immediate priorities for GOBLET, so that the new executives are better placed – stealing a quote from Michelle Brazas – to help “GOBLET mature into a trusted, centralised place for bioinformatics learning that does not duplicate other sites, and that becomes sustainable and a recognised partner by all in bioinformatics education” and training.
Owing to space constraints, participation in this meeting is by invitation only.
