Sayane Shome et al. F1000Res. .

Abstract

Regional Student Groups are groups established and managed by the ISCB-Student Council in different regions of the world. The article highlights some of the initiatives and management lessons from our 'top-performing' Spotlight Regional Student Groups (RSGs), RSG-Argentina and RSG-UK, for the current year (2016). In addition, it details some of the operational hurdles faced by RSGs and possible solutions.

Keywords: Bioinformatics; Computational Biology; ISCB Student Council; Regional Student Groups; Student organizations; Virtual seminars; Workshops.
