What it is<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EMBL Alumni Fund gives alumni a way to collectively and visibly support EMBL training across all sites and available to all researchers worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its first phase, the fund will support the EMBL Visitor Programme and EMBL-EBI training. This  will enable researchers from across Europe and beyond, at all career stages, to spend time at any EMBL site, gaining access to unique expertise, facilities, and networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our initial target is \u20ac10,000 per year, growing to \u20ac20,000 per year as participation increases. Regular giving will help us build long-term stability and momentum.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Why it matters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A collective fund ensures that every donation, however small, has an impact. Together, we can provide opportunities which EMBL\u2019s core budget could not otherwise cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training and sharing knowledge are core to EMBL\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alumni have enjoyed privileged access to EMBL\u2019s world-class resources. This community is uniquely placed to help open those doors for others, by sharing experiences and by supporting access financially.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

How you can help<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fund is flexible: give once or set up a recurring donation, every contribution counts. Donors will be acknowledged (with an option for anonymity), and broad participation will be a key measure of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stories \/ Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitor fellowships and EMBL-EBI training are in high demand, and with alumni help, we can expand access further, creating new opportunities for scientists who will go on to inspire the next generation.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
