We will soon launch the call for mini-project proposals for the Systems Biology MSc students. There are 19 students this year and each student carries out one experimental biology project and one "dry" project.

The mini-projects are 12 weeks long, with the first one running from 21st March 2009 - 10th June 2010 and the second one from 13th June - 9th September 2010.

Ahead of this call, we are announcing the opportunity to give a short talk to the students to introduce your research area.

The newly formed Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL) is pleased to announce that it has funding available for staff and students to undertake projects related to the development of innovative learning. £125,000 is available for the academic year 2010/11 in various funding streams.
