Blog – Course and Conference Office

Blog

Our mission is to train scientists. This blog is a platform for us to share updates on our annual programme, tips and tricks for scientists, new e-learning opportunities, and sometimes just something to make you smile.


The EMBL Course and Conference Office was established in 1983 to support EMBL scientists in the organisation of conferences, medium-sized workshops, practical courses, EMBL internal and one-off events. 


Meet the team: Sophie

Sophie Spencer has recently been promoted to Senior Events Manager in EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute’s Training team. We last interviewed her in late 2021, so let’s catch up with Sophie and see what she’s been up to since then.

Introducing Ada: the new AI assistant from EMBL-EBI Training

Today marks Ada Lovelace Day, a day to celebrate the work of the acclaimed mathematician and writer. We can't think of a better way to honour her in 2025 than by naming our LLM-driven, AI assistant after the person who first recognised that computers had applications beyond pure calculation.
