The PASC18 Organizing Team would like to remind you that the deadline for registration is just 7 days from now. We are also pleased to bring to your attention the variety of topics that will be discussed this year within the minisymposia program, and we would like to thank all our sponsors, without whom our conference would not be possible.
Registration
We are pleased to see on our list of participants the familiar names of many PASC Conference regulars, as well as many more who will be attending the conference for the first time.
We invite all those who have not done so already, to register for the event by June 15, 2018.
We look forward to welcoming you to the charming city of Basel for three days of stimulating technical sessions and networking opportunities. The full program of the conference is available here.
Minisymposia Program
This year’s program includes close to 50 topically-focused minisymposia, of which most, if not all, are highly multidisciplinary in their scope. Don’t miss the opportunity to gain insight from researchers working in other scientific domains – perhaps they are using algorithms, tools, or techniques that could be applied within your own domain?
