EMBO Activities
The organisation nurtures training and careers at all stages of the
scientific career path through courses,workshops conferences and fellowships
- and most recently through the Young Investigator
Programme, which promotes Europe’s best young scientists in
the early stages of their research careers.
EMBO promotes mobility throughout member states and globally through
post-doctoral and short-term fellowships.
On completion of their fellowship the majority of EMBO post-doctoral
fellows return to their home countries transfering new skills and contacts
to their respective member states. Short-term fellows return
to their countries with practical techniques having built a strong
foundation for future scientific collaboration.
EMBO’s World Activities promote
international scientific co-operation and bridge technological differences
to further research. Jointly created by EMBO and the European Commission
The Life Sciences
Mobility Portal offers a series of searchable databases pointing
life scientists to sources of funding, training, and employment.
A boom in electronic data means that biologists are increasingly going
online to search for literature and diverse data types. Through integrating
and organising online information EMBO's Electronic
Information Programme turns information overload into information
management.
The EMBO Journal,
its sister publications EMBO
reports and Molecular
Systems Biology provide a variety of formats to cover topics
related to biology at a molecular level. These high quality peer-reviewed
journals are unique in that they span all aspects of molecular biology
and reflect how science is shaping the world.
Underlying EMBO’s dedication to the advancement of scientific knowledge
is its commitment that the sciences serve public interest.
The Courses & Workshops Programme
has proved itself to be an essential part of EMBO activities since its
establishment in the 1960s. Through this programme, funds are provided
annually for practical courses, lecture courses, workshops and conferences
globally. Close links are also maintained between the scientific community
and a wider audience through Science &
society activities for educators, students, policy makers, industry
and the media.
EMBO's focus on young independent scientists, the interplay between
science and society, developing links with laboratories worldwide complete
a palette of actions that respond to the changing needs of researchers.
