About BREW

BREW is a meeting organized by European PhD programs in bioinformatics.

BREW 2005 is organized by the Computational Molecular Biology (CMB) department of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biology, Berlin, Germany. The CMB department is a bioinformatics research group educating a substantial number of PhD students and actively contributing to the Bioinformatics education at the Free University, Berlin.

Aims

The BREW aims are

to introduce PhD students at an early stage in their PhD work with the work modes of international conferences
to bring together PhD students and experienced researchers in an atmosphere of cooperatioen and inspiration
to establish research contacts across Europe, to be utilized in the student's subsequent research
contribute to the development of bioinformatics education and to the formation of the research community across Europe

Participants

BREW partners are PhD programs, participating with (essentially) all their current PhD students.
BREW is not open to individuals and is by invitation only. The participants in BREW 2005 are the following PhD programs in bioinformatics:
