Have you ever seen one of our posts and wondered \u201c#EESSymbiosis? What does the \u2018EES\u2019 actually mean?\u201d EMBL, EMBO, CCO, ATC\u2026 there are a lot of acronyms to go around! Well, we\u2019re here to clear up all potential acronym-head-scratching. Let\u2019s start off with one that you can\u2019t miss:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EMBL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

European Molecular Biology Laboratory. <\/em>We are Europe\u2019s leading life sciences laboratory. With 27 member states, EMBL has more than 110 independent research groups and service teams covering the spectrum of molecular biology at six sites in Barcelona, Grenoble, Hamburg, Heidelberg, EMBL-EBI in Hinxton, and Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EMBO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

European Molecular Biology Organization<\/em>. EMBO is an organisation of more than 1,900 leading researchers that promotes excellence in the life sciences in Europe and beyond. The major goals of the organisation are to support talented researchers at all stages of their careers, stimulate the exchange of scientific information, and help build a research environment where scientists can achieve their best work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EMBL-EBI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might have noticed some of our events take place at EMBL-EBI. \u2018EBI\u2019 stands for European Bioinformatics Institute<\/em> and it is one of the six EMBL sites, located in Hinxton, UK. Most of our bioinformatics events take place here, as the EMBL-EBI is a champion of open data in the life sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ATC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever been to an event at EMBL Heidelberg? Then chances are high that this event took place in the ATC, which stands for Advanced Training Centre<\/em>. Since its opening in 2010, the ATC has been our main event venue in which we hold most of our scientific conferences or practical courses. Its distinct architecture is inspired by DNA\u2019s double helix, and it boasts some gorgeous views from the top, so make sure to walk all the way up one of the helices next time you visit us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018EES\u2019 in our hashtags, as in e.g. #EESSymbiosis, #EESNeurovascular<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

EES stands for EMBO | EMBL Symposium<\/em> and is used in our social media posts to clearly denote the individual symposia and give each their own unique hashtag. This way, participants may share their experience with others and build a community by finding each other on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CCO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might have seen the acronym CCO come up here and there. It stands for Course and Conference Office <\/em>and encompasses everyone who makes EMBL events happen! Our Conference Officers, Marketing Officers, Sponsorship Officers, and Team Leads make sure the broad range of events that happen year-round go smoothly and that you\u2019re always up to date on which events will happen next!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ELIXIR\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ELIXIR Training Platform aims to strengthen national training programmes, grow bioinformatics training capacity and competence across Europe, and empower researchers to use ELIXIR’s services and tools<\/a>. You\u2019ll often see this on EMBL-EBI course websites, as EMBL-EBI Training is part of the ELIXIR infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does that mean for you? Well, you\u2019re free to use our materials for free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WGC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stands for the Wellcome Genome Campus, on which EMBL-EBI is located. If you\u2019re attending an in person event with EMBL-EBI, it will be on the WGC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
