DESCRIPTION:The Daphne Jackson Trust and the British Computer Society have 
 joined forces to organise a discussion forum* on emerging research fields w
 here the Biosciences and IT overlap.
\n
\nThis is a huge emerging growth ar
 ea\, including bioinformatics and e-science (recently identified by both BB
 SRC and EPSRC as cross-committee priority areas)\, and has the potential to
  attract talented graduates\, both with biological sciences and IT backgrou
 nds. 
\n
\nThe aim of this forum is to explore the topical issues and caree
 r opportunities in these emerging areas. A briefing document will be produc
 ed afterwards that aimed at potential returners or graduates who wish to ma
 ke a career change and enter these new fields. 
\n
\nSpeakers and delegates
  at the forum will include representatives of professional societies and fu
 nding organisations\; active researchers\; researchers interested in develo
 ping courses to help scientists bridge the knowledge and technology gap bet
 ween biosciences and computing sciences\; and graduates or returners lookin
 g for new opportunities.
\n
\n
\n_This forum forms part of the BCS and Daph
 ne Jackson Trust’s continuing commitment to the Equalitec project. _
