2nd Industry Day @ EMBL

This event will take place at EMBL Heidelberg and virtually.

Overview

The 2nd Industry Day aims to foster collaboration between EMBL staff and companies in the research field by providing a platform for educational talks, showcasing innovative technologies and products, and career opportunities facilitating networking opportunities. This event will allow companies to present their latest advancements and engage directly with EMBL researchers and staff. This idea was developed in response to numerous requests from the industry, including EMBL CPP members, to organise presentations for EMBL internal staff and increase interactions with various EMBL units.
