'The “How To Guide” for Establishing a Successful Bioinformatics Network' Workshop. Aidan Budd Michelle Brazas Manuel Corpas
What are "professional bioinformatics networks"? • "professional bioinformatics networks/communities", groups of people working together to achieve bioinformatics-related goals.
What do we mean by a "successful" network? • We want to understand better the features of networks that make them successful i.e. achieving their goals, and benefiting all those who actively participate in them.
Why • Networks are essential for scientific success
Outline • Benefits • Specific examples of successful networks • Panel discussion
