The article elaborates on the program highlights of the 3rd African Student Council Symposium 2019. The one-day symposium was held in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana, on 11 November 2019 during the 6th joint international bioinformatics conference of the ISCB and ASBCB. It consisted of three sessions that included keynote talks by Prof Christine Orengo and Dr. Amel Ghouila, and seven selected student speaker talks from different areas of bioinformatics. The students benefited from networking and learning about ongoing research work by their peers hailing from different countries of the African region. The symposium proved to be pivotal to strengthen connections in the African bioinformatics student community.

“…The Student Symposium on Computational Genomics was a satellite meeting of the computational conference Challenges in Computational Biology: Gene Expression Data Analysis. We got inspired in organising this event by the annual Student Council Symposia (SCS) [1,3,4] and similar initiatives of RSGs [5][6][7][8][9][10]. The primary goal of these symposia are to provide young researchers with the opportunity to present their work to an international audience and to gain insights into the latest topics, to educate them with outstanding keynote talks by renowned researchers, and to offer the chance to build a world-wide network within the community of bioinformatics and computational biology.…”

The Student Council of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB-SC) is a student-focused organization for researchers from all early career levels of training (undergraduates, masters, PhDs and postdocs) that organizes bioinformatics and computational biology activities across the globe. Among its activities, the ISCB-SC organizes several symposia in different continents, many times, with the help of the Regional Student Groups (RSGs) that are based on each region. In this editorial we highlight various key moments and learned lessons from the 14th Student Council Symposium (SCS, Chicago, USA), the 5th European Student Council Symposium (ESCS, Athens, Greece) and the 3rd Latin American Student Council Symposium (LA-SCS, Viña del Mar, Chile).
