Opening presentation of the GAUSS Programme of Environmental Informatics

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The new GAUSS PhD Programme in Environmental Informatics has begun. We used the opportunity on Friday, 27 January, 2006, to demonstrate more fully the set-up and the chances, which such a combination of bioinformatics, ecoinformatics and geoinformatics can have in combination with the methods used in the core computer sciences and scientific computing. The conference programme was as follows:
