In recognition of our efforts for the Indian Bioinformatics student community, CSIR (The Council for Scientific and Industrial research) and the Organisers of the Human Genome Meeting (HGM 2008) at Hyderabad, graciously offered RSG-India representatives a stall at the exhibition area of this conference. This was a great opportunity for us to get to meet many RSG-India members face to face and also to introduce RSG-India to other interested students at the conference.

Code-On, a bioinformatics based programming contest was organised by RSG-India in association with the Replikon '08 technical symposium at VIT University in February 2008. This event saw participation by more than 60 teams of two persons each. The victorious teams were awarded a one year student membership to ISCB by RSG-India.
