When did EMBL create its Alumni Association?
The Alumni Association was founded in 1999 by Fotis Kafatos, EMBL's Director General at the time [1993-2005].
Why does EMBL have an Alumni Association?
As a world leading research institution EMBL has produced alumni who represent a unique and growing group of individuals who are actively bringing the exceptional experience of EMBL to the wider community, not just in basic research but in industry, commerce, government and education.
EMBL has an Alumni Association in order to maintain a world wide network of people who have been at EMBL for the benefit of Association members and current EMBL staff. Some of the benefits include:
 |
|
 |
Access to an exceptional resource of experience and knowledge which is being added to daily |
|
|
|
Ability to influence research strategy, policy and training across the member states and beyond |
|
|
|
Availability of a network of people who share a common experience of excellence in research carried out in a unique environment |
|
|
|
Means of measuring the number of EMBL scientists who return to Europe |
|
|
|
Additional service to the member states, providing them with statistics on the career development and mobility of their scientists after leaving EMBL |
|
The Alumni Association includes scientists, support staff and members of the administration both at Heidelberg as well as the Outstations in Grenoble, Hamburg, Monterotondo and EBI Hinxton.
How can the Alumni Association help me?
The Association plays an important role in supporting former members of the EMBL community at many different levels, as well as providing a means for them to maintain contact with EMBL and work with current staff across the EMBL Units to their mutual benefit.
The Association offers:
|
|
|
A Members' Directory, where you can find current contact information, research interests, biographies and homepages of former colleagues. |
|
|
|
Information on Local Chapters, providing an effective and useful support network in your country of residence for EMBL alumni. |
|
|
|
Job pages where you may advertise jobs available in your lab, or look for jobs advertised by other alumni members. |
|
|
|
Regular information on EMBL and the Alumni Association by e-mail and through EMBL's bi-monthly newsletter EMBLetcetera. |
