Call For Participation
BIOCOMP'12
The 2012
International Conference on Bioinformatics
and Computational Biology
July 16-19, 2012, Las Vegas, USA
This is an invitation to attend BIOCOMP'12 Conference.
BIOCOMP'12 is an important part of WORLDCOMP'12 Congress (a federated
congress). The Congress is composed of 22 main tracks (9 tutorials, 188
sessions and workshops, and 39 keynotes/invited lectures/panel discussions,
...); all will be held simultaneously, same location and dates: July 16-19,
2012.
Attendees will have full access to all conferences'
sessions, tracks, and tutorials. Registration is required to attend. We
anticipate about
2,000 attendees for the Congress: 62% from academia; 24%
from industry; 11% from government agencies; and 3% unknown. About half of the
attendees are from outside USA; from 88 different countries. Speakers are
affiliated with 320 academic institutions, 89 major corporations, and multiple
government agencies.

D. Financial Assistantship for full-Time Students:
The congress has
finalized the financial assistantship decisions for students
who are
affiliated with non-USA institutions (decisions were communicated
with the
awardees in March and April 2012). Unfortunately, 26 of the awardees
are not able to
secure USA visa in a timely manner to attend the meeting. The
congress is now
providing these 26 slots to full-time graduate students who
are enrolled in
USA institutions. This financial assistantship is for
attendance only
(ie, excludes speakers and authors of papers). Sponsored
students will
receive the complete conference package (printed books/proceedings,
CD, dinner
reception, 4 breakfasts, 12 refreshments, access to all tracks and
tutorials, ...),
registration fee waiver, partial help with hotel accommodation,
and/or possibly
some help with airfare. In order to apply, send the following
information for
consideration to sc@world-comp.org as
soon as possible
(include as
attachments in pdf only): a 2-page CV; a letter from your major
professor or
Department Head/Chair stating that you are a full-time graduate
student in good
standing; and a break-down of your itemized costs (airfare,
hotel, ...). In
the Subject Header of your email write "student sponsorship".
Award decisions
will be finalized within 24 hours of receipt of the requested
information.
