EBI Open Day - 01 March 2012
Our next open day will take place on Thursday 1 March 2012 from 09:30 to 16:15. This is the perfect opportunity for young scientists who are considering a career in bioinformatics, a PhD or a post doc to find out more about opportunities at Europe's main centre for bioinformatics. You will learn about cutting-edge research projects, get an overview of one of the world's most important collections of biological databases and tools, and be given time to talk one-to-one with the experts who develop and curate these services.
If there is sufficient interest, we will arrange for a bus from Cambridge rail station to the EBI and a return bus after the event (for a small fee to cover the transport). Approximate bus times: 08:30 departure from the station and 16:30 departure from Hinxton back to the station. Exact times will be confirmed by email.
