Connecting, engaging and nurturing EMBL’s global community of current and former scientists, technicians, communicators and administrators
The EMBL Alumni Relations programme is built to advance EMBL and the relevance of life science research in the scientific community and society at large, by fostering connections between the laboratory, its member states, current EMBL staff, EMBL alumni, and the public.
EMBL’s tradition of curiosity-driven research, its links to many scientific disciplines, and its tradition of collaborative discovery provide the perfect combination to address global challenges, including climate change and biodiversity loss.
Through alumni advocacy, participation, volunteering and giving, the valuable contributions of former staff have aided EMBL’s mission to support life sciences every day in 2023, in Europe and beyond.
