BREW is a workshop for PhD students in bioinformatics and computational biology, and 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.

BREW is organised annualy in a round-robin fashion, at the participating PhD programs (Bergen, Berlin, Bielefeld, Helsinki, Tartu). You may read an excellent summary of BREW 2016 in Helsinki here.
