Autumn School Bioinformatics

Admission

The number of participants is limited to 16. If you are interested we ask you to do a self-assessment first to see if the autumn school will be of any use to you. You can check whether you can answer a series of questions that will be listed at those websites. If you think that you have matured to this level, we ask you to send the application form to one of the contact addresses below. Please include a short letter of reference by your supervisor.

The Deadline for applications is October 28, 2012. Applicants are selected by the scientific committee on the basis of the filled application form. Accepted candidates are notified in the first week of November.

Self-Assessment Quiz

If you intend to participate in the autumn school, you should be able to answer seven or more of these questions comfortably in less than an hour. This includes the time for Google, web searches and looking things up in the textbooks you used during your studies. As a scientist, you should be honest to yourself, as always, but also because the autumn school will just be a waste of your time and no fun at all if you lack the basic knowledge that is underlying these questions.

These questions are intended for self-assessment of your state of knowledge.
Here you can find the answers to the questions.
