Stimulating and supporting public interest in science

Besides the Bioinformatics@school project, the NBIC BioWise programme aims to stimulate and support initiatives that focus on education and public communication on bioinformatics and science in general. To this end, we offer the overview below. Furthermore, we are happy to mention your event or initiative here as well. Please send suggestions and additions to Hienke Sminia.
