Reflections of snow-covered mountains in Lake Lucerne formed the backdrop for strategic discussion amongst members of EMBO Council when they met from 8 –9 April. This extraordinary meeting was held in advance of the ordinary meeting next October so that council members could consider policy matters to ensure EMBO continues to meet the needs of its community of scientists in today’s research environment.

Hosted by EMBO Council Chair Tim Hunt, the meeting also was attended by EMBO Executive Director Hermann Bujard, EMBO Secretary Gistiane Nüsslein-Volhard, former EMBO Membership Committee Chair Maria Leptin and EMBL Director General Iain Mattaj. Managers from EMBO Heidelberg offices participated where updates related to programmes and activities were required. The next ordinary meeting of EMBO Council will be in Heidelberg 2 – 3 October.
