Introduction

The 5th Fraunhofer-Symposium on Text Mining in Life Sciences will take place at the  Bonn-Aachen International Center for Information Technology in Bonn on Monday (Reception) and Tuesday, September 24th and 25th.

The symposium is a community-wide appreciated conference where selected professionals from industry and academic research meet and discuss advancements in information extraction and knowledge discovery. This year’s event will focus on combining textual and image information in biomedical and chemical research.

The organisers are looking forward to welcoming you in the modern building of the Bonn-Aachen International Center for Information Technology in Bonn, located directly on the bank of the river Rhine. Please mark your calendar for this event, which attracted more than 100 participants in 2006.

The symposium is sponsored by InfoChem and TEMIS
