Outreach

outreach The CGB fulfills its mission through outreach in a number of different ways:

  • Over the years, we have joined existing initiatives and consortia and have, when appropriate, started new goal-specific groups. Our experience shows that, when well organized, initiatives and consortia can be effective ways of achieving large goals with modest amounts of funding.
  • Our scientists have long records of publications and, finally, some of our early work is now coming to fruition in publications.
  • We have an extensive set of mailing lists for various announcements.
  • The 2008-09 academic year marks the first time we have, together with the Department of Biology, coordinated a seminar series. The IUB Seminar Series in Genomics and Bioinformatics represents interests from Biology, the School of Informatics, and the CGB, with additional funding from the Dean of the Faculties.
  • We have a plethora of workshops that arise, often somewhat spontaneously, to address current needs of researchers. Often, it is our collaborators who take the initiative of starting and organizing the group, using CGB contacts to pull in participants. These workshops often bring together researchers who wouldn't ordinarily meet.
