Training

To train scientists, students, and visitors at all levels

EMBL training aims to foster scientific inquiry and share knowledge among scientists, students, and visitors at all levels in the life sciences

Additionally, EMBL provides important science education programmes and public engagement efforts aimed at motivating young scientists.

PhD and postdoc fellow training and support

EIPOD strengthened with more member state engagement

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.

Insights into scientific careers

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.

Academia, industry, or somewhere else?

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.”

Courses, conferences, and scientific visitors

Augmenting science

Corporate Partnership Programme and Friends of EMBL ensure member state early-career scientists have access to EMBL’s world-class researchers and tools.

“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.”

Science education and public engagement

Lautenschläger programme resumes

The EMBL Lautenschläger summer school introduced curious students from maths, engineering, computer science and more  to interdisciplinary life science research at EMBL.

Celebrating science in Grenoble

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.
