Every conversation, every collaboration, and every breakthrough starts with a question. At EMBL, we’re ready for another year of asking the big ones. The 2026 EMBL Annual Poster is out now, and it’s more than an events programme: it’s an invitation to discover what’s next in the life sciences.

In the year ahead, we’re diving into new topics like ‘Sex differences in health and disease’, ‘Collectivity in living systems: emergence, function, and evolution’, and ‘Brillouin microscopy for life science applications’. At the same time, popular events such as ‘AI and biology’, ‘Transcription and chromatin’, and ‘DNA replication and genome maintenance’ return with fresh insights and new faces faces. Ready to be part of it? We can’t wait to see you!
