The fourth edition of the School of Biology, Computation and Information (BCI) aims at bringing together teachers and Students of Biology, Mathematics and Computer Science. The main goal of the School is to give an updated overview of interdisciplinary techniques and problems cross-bordering the three fields.

During the school, on Wednesday 4th July, a one-day workshop will be held. It will be titled "Patterns in strings: from biology to linguistics and back". Excellence lecturers will be invited. The participants to the School may submit an abstract leading to a twenty-minutes presentation during the workshop. Abstracts will be sent to and selected/judged by the Scientific Committee.

This school will be held at CBM, the company appointed for the coordination of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Technology District of Molecular Biomedicine. CBM operates around Area Science Park in Basovizza, within a picturesque woody landscape just a few miles from Trieste city centre.

The courses will be held from Monday the 2nd to Friday the 6th of July 2007 by 3 speakers with internationally acknowledged experience in the fields of the subjects discussed. Each speaker will give 8 lectures, each one lasting 45 minutes, on evolution biology, mathematics, statistics and/or informatics.
