                Call for Participation
     Code Biology 2015 - Conference and Summer School 	
              14 - 19 June 2015, Jena
      http://www.codebiology.org/conferences/Jena2015
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The International Conferences in Code Biology brings together scholars
and researchers who are interested in the study of all codes of life,
from the genetic code to the codes of culture.

In addition to the main conference a summer school is offered,
which consists of two additional full tutorial days on Monday and
Tuesday together with the scientific talks from Wednesday to Friday.
(See http://di.ttri.ch/tmp/TutorialOfficialProgram.html )

The event will take place in Jena, from June 14 to 19 June 2015,
under the auspices of the Friedrich Schiller University and the
International Society of Code Biology.
In addition to tutorials and individual talks, the conference will host
a poster session, a roundtable discussion and the annual general assembly
of the Society of Code Biology.

Participation is possible, e.g.,  for the conference only (Wednesday to Friday),
the tutorials only (Monday and Tuesday), or the whole week.

You are welcome to bring a poster (please submit a title and abstract
via the registration form or by email):
