Lessons from a ten-year-long journey: building a student-driven computational biology society across Turkey
(NLM (Medline), 2022) Kaya, Y.; Karakulak, T.; Can, Saylan, C.; Gür, E.R.; Tatlıdil, E.; Güleşen, S.; Betül Dinçaslan, F.
The Regional Student Group Turkey (RSG-Turkey) is officially associated with the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) Student Council (SC). At the RSG-Turkey, we aim to contribute to the early-career researchers in computational biology and bioinformatics fields by providing opportunities for improving their academic and technical skills in the field. Over the last ten years, we have built a well-known student-driven academic society in Turkey that organizes numerous events every year and continues to grow with over 650 current members. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of RSG-Turkey, in this communication, we share our experiences, five main lessons we learned, and the steps to establish a long-standing academic community: having a clear mission, building a robust structure, effective communication, turning challenges into opportunities, and building collaborations. We believe that our experiences can help students and academics establish long-standing communities in fast-developing areas like bioinformatics. Copyright: © 2022 Kaya Y et al.
