Description
Summary:The Regional Student Group of Spain is recognized by the Student Council and the International Society for Computational Biology. The objective of these institutions is to connect and share useful information among all professionals and students working in the field of bioinformatics and computational biology. In this article, we intend to present and publicize RSG-Spain, the Spanish ISCB regional student group, by relating its recent history of a growing community of students and young professionals and how it helps their development in the field. RSG-Spain, since its creation, has been involved in the organization of events with the aim of gathering bioinformaticians in the country and promoting research and collaboration in the field. Here the VIII Student Symposium held online in 2021 is presented, analyzing the output of the event and showing the main challenges found in its organization.
