Why should I join?
EMBL's alumni 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. The Association maintains a worldwide network
of former EMBL staff for the benefit of its members, current EMBL staff
and the wider scientific community. Some of the Association's services
include:
Are there any membership fees?
In order to be as accessible and inclusive as possible, the Alumni
Association's policy is not to charge a membership fee. However, the
Association does incur costs and needs money to carry out its
activities. It therefore welcomes any donations from its members.
In contrast to the operation of many other alumni
organisations, funds generated through EMBL alumni activities will be
channeled back into the Association rather than be used as a source of
Laboratory funding.
Who is eligible to join?
The Alumni Association is intended for scientists, support staff and
members of the administration both at Heidelberg as well as the
Outstations in Grenoble, Hamburg, Monterotondo and EMBL-EBI Hinxton.
Former employees of EMBL, students, fellows, visitors, as well as
members of SAC [Scientific Advisory Committee] and Council who have
been at EMBL for at least 3 months are all eligible for joining.
More information below: Who qualifies for full and associate membership?
Are there different types of membership?
Yes, there are two types of membership: full and associate.
Who qualifies for full membership?
Anyone listed above as eligible to join and who has been at EMBL for
longer than 6 months qualifies for full membership. Full members have
access to the Members Only section of the alumni website, may use all
services and facilities available to alumni, and are entitled to vote
and to stand for election to the Board.
Who qualifies for associate membership?
Anyone listed above as eligible to join and who has been at EMBL for
less than 6 months qualifies for associate membership. Associate
members have access to all the services offered to full members, only
they cannot vote nor can they stand for election to the Board. However,
they can be considered for full membership after serving for three
years as associate members, if approved by the Board. Members of SAC
and Council are given associate membership.
All members must have their application formally approved at a meeting of the Alumni Board.
When do I receive my password for the Members Only section of the web site?
The registration process is currently a manual one, involving checks
with Personnel records before you are issued a password. This can take
up to one month and we thank you for your patience.
When does membership end?
Members who take up employment, fellowship or visitor status at EMBL
will not be members for the duration of such work at EMBL. Members may
resign by written notice to the Board.
For
more details, please refer to the Alumni Association Statutes under Documents.
I receive the EMBL&cetera newsletter, does this mean that I am a registered member?
No, we ask that you register online. This allows us to build the association network and capture useful information. |
