A snapshot of EMBL 2022 facts and figures
EMBL’s new EIPOD-Learning in Context (EIPOD-LinC) postdoc programme aims to cultivate interdisciplinary research that explores ‘life in context’ through strong collaborations within EMBL and with member state organisations.
As the career landscape continued to change for PhDs and postdocs, the EMBL Fellows’ Career Service offered webinars to 700 participants from 22 member states that presented professional options in and beyond academia.
In a study analysing the career progress of more than 2,000 EMBL PhDs and postdocs, EMBL reported that skills developed at EMBL made them highly employable in roles that drive research and innovation in academia, industry, and other sectors.
“For the EMBL Fellows’ Career Service events, the online format has proven to be more accessible to participants, while also allowing us to provide a pan-European perspective and invite speakers from different countries. Since 2020, our webinars have featured 54 speakers based in 16 of EMBL’s member states.”
– Rachel Coulthard-Graf, EMBL Career Advisor
EMBL’s all-postdoc infection biology conference offered a way to showcase research and network more effectively.
Corporate Partnership Programme and Friends of EMBL ensure member state early-career scientists have access to EMBL’s world-class researchers and tools.
A recent EMBO|EMBL symposium that drew in scientific talent from around the world provided a forum to discuss recent research on a range of issues for organisms as they cope with changing environments.
“Modern biology is increasingly becoming an interdisciplinary science. To attract students from non-traditional backgrounds (e.g. mathematicians, engineers, and computational scientists) to the life sciences, we need to invest in their education and expose them to modern biology, an opportunity provided by the summer school.”
– Aissam Ikmi, Group Leader at EMBL Heidelberg; a course organiser of the EMBL Lautenschläger summer school 2022
EMBL Rome’s Summer in Science programme brought together 20 high school students from across Italy for an intensive two-week training.
The EMBL Lautenschläger summer school introduced curious students from maths, engineering, computer science and more to interdisciplinary life science research at EMBL.
EMBL Grenoble introduced 1,225 children and adults to infection biology and more ,at the science outreach event Parvis des Sciences, organised by the GIANT campus as part of La Fête de la science.
EMBL-EBI’s Genome Analysis Team involvement in the UK-based Darwin Tree of Life data portal project included public engagement to convey data’s importance to biodiversity and conservation efforts.
