[Kristina Hanspers]

WikiPathways is participating in Google Summer of Code 2019 as part of the National Resource for Network Biology (NRNB.org), accepted as one of 206 open source organizations!

Student application period starts one week from today, on March 25, 2019! Check out our project ideas and reach out to mentors to learn more here: https://github.com/nrnb/GoogleSummerOfCode/issues

GSoC is a highly competitive and unique program - in the past 14 years over 14,000 students from 109 countries have been accepted into the program. Participants are paired with a mentor to help introduce them to an open source community and guide them with their project. GSoC gives students invaluable real world experience and an opportunity to receive a stipend to contribute to open source software.

The NRNB has successfully mentored over 130 successful student projects, and many have resulted in publications. Here are just a couple of examples: Summer et al, Luna et al.
