Apart from a scientific semester programme CWI organizes mini-symposia, masterclasses, lectures with renowned speakers (like the Abel prize winners from 2022), hackathons and data challenges. Additionally, we organize and host other regular scientific meetings like reading groups, seminars, collaboration sessions and open-problem sessions. The format is flexible to meet the preferences of the participants.

The genetic code can be considered as a recipe book for a living organism: it indirectly describes all the properties and functions of the organism such as its physical form and its metabolic processes. Over the past decades, reading the genetic code of an individual has become easier and cheaper. This yields large amounts of data on the DNA of viruses, bacteria, plants, humans, etcetera.
