Workshop of the Interuniversity PhD programme in Bioinformatics
The interuniversity Doctorate Programme in Bioinformatics is an official program jointly organised by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), the Universitat de Girona (UdG), the Universitat de Lleida (UdL), the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), the Universitat de Vic – Universitat Central de Catalunya (UVic-UCC), the Universitat de Barcelona (UB), and the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) with the participation of the Bioinformatics Barcelona Association (BIB). Each year, the main activity for the PhD training consists in a workshop to present the current status of the different PhD projects to develop networking among the participants and their research competences.
This year, the annual workshop is held in Girona, a beautiful historical and cultural landmark city in the northeast of Catalunya, currently known for hosting the football team that is leading la Liga 2023/24.
