General – 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.

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.
