collaborations



The Alberta Informatics Circle of Research Excellence (iCORE) has an interest in establishing an annual program of workshops and thinktanks aimed at elevating the profile and interaction of Alberta informatics researchers on the world stage:

iCORE strives to establish a global reputation for Alberta with respect to excellence in informatics research,

iCORE recognizes that collaboration with international colleagues is an integral part of achieving world-class standards,

iCORE supports its Chairs and Professors in communicating and collaborating with exceptional international researchers in informatics, and

iCORE Chairs and Professors have an obligation to present the results of their research to pan-Alberta audiences every year.
2007 Banff Informatics Summit

August 23, 24 and 25, 2007

Program Chair: Stuart Kauffman

A Grand Challenge Theme answering How is Informatics Central to Systems Biology, such as the Systems Biology of Cancer?

The 2007 iCORE Banff Summit will explore how our backgrounds, knowledge, and research expertise in informatics and related areas can contribute to new collaborative explorations and research.

We attempt this Grand Challenge because it illuminates the broad and growing interdisciplinary terrain of Systems Biology. The fields of computer science, electrical engineering, physics, mathematics, signal processing, machine learning, complexity studies, medicine, biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology build the foundation of Systems Biology. Join us in the challenge!

Connecting Opportunities

The 2006 iCORE Summit: Connecting Opportunities embodies iCORE’s long-term goal to attract and retain ICT opportunities in Alberta, by providing Alberta companies a chance to learn about iCORE funded university research and to meet the people doing the research. This year’s summit will facilitate the connection of Alberta industry to the talent pool in Alberta universities; both professors and graduate students.
