ISCB-SC RSG-Nigeria Town Hall Event - Bioinformatics Fellowships, Skills and Training Opportunities
ISCB-SC RSG-Nigeria is excited to invite you to our Community Town Hall, a conversation centred on our members, your learning, progress and the steps you are taking in your careers in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics.
🎓 Big news: RSG-Nigeria has partnered with DataCamp Donates to offer 30 Bioinformatics fellowship spots in January 2027, with free DataCamp Premium access to courses in Python, R, AI and genomic data analysis. Join us to be the first to hear what the fellowship involves, who can apply and how to secure your spot!
Over the past year, members of this community have joined our webinars, worked through hands-on workshops, connected with researchers and peers, and grown in ways we are proud to have been part of. This town hall is our chance to celebrate that growth with you, share how we have been building RSG-Nigeria around your needs, and hear from you about the support and opportunities that would help you take your next step.
What to expect:
Looking Back: updates and progress from our year in office, from webinars to workshops and outreach
What’s Ahead: the 2027 DataCamp-sponsored fellowship, new working groups on priority research areas and workshops on developing Bioinformatics research skills
Let's hear from you: tell us who you would love us to bring next and the webinars and workshops you want to see us host.
The town hall is open to community members: students, early-career researchers and anyone interested in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics in Nigeria and across Africa. The session holds on Google Meet, and the joining link will be sent to registered participants before the event.
Date/Time: November 21st, 2026; 4:00 PM WAT
