    "The Bio-IT project is a community initiative, which aims to build, support, and promote computational biology activity at EMBL Heidelberg. The objective is for community members to help each other conduct their research, and to share their skills, experience, and tools with others.\n",
    "\n",
    "The Bio-IT Project aims to achieve its objectives through activity in four areas:\n",
    "\n",
    "- training and consultation\n",
    "- regular networking of interested parties, encouraging community building and knowledge transfer between computational biologists\n",
    "- establishing and maintaining community resources\n",
    "- providing support for bioinformatics tools and services\n",
