On behalf of the organizing committee for the KNCV BioInformatics symposium named "Netherlands Conference on BioInformatics 2004", which will take place on Thursday 7 - Friday 8 October 2004 in Groningen, we invite you to read the information overview and the program of the symposium "Images of Life".
This year is the 5th anniversary of the symposium organized by the Workgroup BioInformatics of the Dutch Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (NVBMB), section of the KNCV. We organize a 2 day meeting in the nice university city of Groningen (north in NL with good air / rail / road connections and a variety of hotels / restaurants / bars) including invited speakers, contributed talks, and the very successful poster sessions with poster flashes (1 overhead sheet in 1 minute poster announcements).
Plenary lectures on different TOPICS:
- Genome Annotation / Networks and Modeling
- Visualization and Animation
- Text Analysis / Data Mining
- Expression Data / Statistics
- 3D Visualization CAVE demonstrations
The bioinformatics community in NL is growing, which reflects the attendance of this symposium from 75 people in 1999 to 200+ people in 2003. Considering the annual symposium is visited by a growing number of experts, this year we expect around 250 people to attend.

Information on the Workgroup BioInformatics of the KNCV
The goal of the Workgroup BioInformatics, which is linked to both the KNCV (http://www.kncv.nl) and the NVBMB (http://www.kncv.nl/nvbmb), is to stimulate the bioinformatics research and education in The Netherlands. The workgroup wishes to achieve this by means to:
- Focus on national strength within the field of bioinformatics
- Set up information programs regarding bioinformatics
- Offer a discussion platform for all information relevant and for all people interested in the field of bioinformatics
- Organize meetings and symposiums
- Improve networks between universities, technical schools, research institutes, and industry
- Improve contacts with international bioinformatics organizations
The target group of the KNCV workgroup BioInformatics is larger than chemists and molecular biologists only: also medics, fysicists, informaticians and mathematicians, working in this field, are welcome.
