BREW is a workshop for PhD students in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, that aims to give an introduction to scientific conferences, including submission, peer review and presentation of scientific papers. All participants must submit a paper and take part in reviewing papers from other participants in order to attend the workshop. After the review deadline, students have a chance to make alterations to their paper and deliver a final version. All participants will present their paper at the conference-style meeting.

Registration has closed. In case you had troubles registering for BREW using EasyChair, do not hesitate to contact us via e-mail: brew2018@cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de

After the paper submission, everyone will receive the papers of two other participants. For each, you will have to write a review. Some guidelines on writing reviews are given here

After receiving the reviews from the other participants, you may make alteration to your paper.

At the workshop, everyone will give a short presentation of their paper. Each participant will have 20 minutes to present his/ her paper followed by 10 minutes to answer questions. Since the large diversity of participants' topics, the presentation is expected to have a broad introduction about research field.

BREW is open for students and supervisors from the PhD programs in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology in participating universities.
