This form consists of the following sections:
- Personal info
- Motivation
- Bioinformatics
- Statistics
- Coding
- Bursary application
Motivation section is here to help us assess your motivation and how much you will benefit from this summer school,
while Bioinformatics, Statistics and Coding sections have two aims:
(1) to show you what type of knowledge and skills you may work on while preparing for the school and
(2) to get a general idea of how well versed in each of those you are.
We estimate it should take approximately 2 to 3 hours to fill out the entire form, but you don't have to complete it in one go.
As long as you sign in with the same social media account and save each section, your progress will be saved
and you will be able to continue where you previously left off, as well as modify all your responses.
Once you submit the form, you will no longer be able to modify your responses.
The deadline to submit your application is 2024-12-23 (December 23rd) at 23:59 (UTC timezone).
Selection results will be announced at the end of January.
If you have any questions or problems, contact us via email: info@ngschool.eu.
Registration fee
The registration fee for the selected participants will be 180 euros for academia and 400 for industry.
This fully covers the costs of accommodation and boarding during the school.
We try to make our events accessible and affordable for all and keep the registration fees to a minimum.
However, we understand that in some circumstances covering the costs of participation in our event can still be challenging.
We don’t want money to be a limiting factor in anyone’s participation,
so we will provide financial support for several selected participants, primarily based on their socioeconomic status, while the funds last.
We can offer two types of support:
- Travel grant to help you cover the cost of your travel to the event's venue.
- Fee discounts or waivers, directed to those participants who cannot get their fees covered by their home institutions.
Both types of support will be preferentially granted to participants from academia (students, PhD candidates, and faculty staff), but applications from industry will be considered, too.
If you wish to be considered for a travel grant, fee discount/waiver, or both, make sure to fill in the Bursary section
of the application form, explaining your situation. We will try our best to help you.
For participants applying from Russian institutions
NGSchool condemns the aggression against Ukraine in the strongest possible terms and stands in solidarity with our colleagues in Ukraine.
Since Russian Universities publicly supported the war we are unable to accept participants affiliated with those institutions.
However, we note that many Russian academics, at great personal peril, have publicly criticised this invasion.
We would like to support all those harmed by Putin’s regime and therefore extend our invitation to Russian academics and students provided they will come as individuals, without affiliation. We will not be able to accept payments for registration fees from Russian universities and companies and will not be able to provide receipts to those organisations.

All are required to agree with this code of conduct both during the event and on official
communication channels, including social media. The organizers will make sure to take
appropriate actions to ensure everyone feels welcomed - including expulsion in case of repeated
violations of the Code of Conduct.
All event participants agree to:
- Be considerate in speech and actions, and respect the boundaries of fellow participants.
- Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behaviour and speech. Harassment includes, but is not limited to:
