The week-long programme is designed for PhD students, early career scientists and industry professionals with backgrounds in veterinary or medical sciences, or quantitative genetics.
It will comprise lectures, practical computer exercises with a data analysis component, group work and short research projects, discussion groups, and a social programme, so that participants will get a hands-on experience of the topics covered and will be encouraged to network.
