The BioInformer nr. In 1996, the European Bioinformatics Institute launched a programme of support for industry in the field of bioinformatics. These courses are available to members only. Since 1996, over 40 workshops and conferences have been organised.
Members have influence over the direction of research and access to preliminary results.
Standards - Of interest to our members is the development of standards that will prevent them becoming locked into proprietary solutions. As a neutral organisation, the EBI has been involved with the promotion of standards for biomolecular sequence analysis, genomic maps and DNA microarray data. This is not only for discussion of project progress and development, but provides an opportunity for scientists and managers in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry to discuss issues informally and network on a neutral territory.
