We turn complex, world-class scientific research into accessible classroom experiences. Get the expert knowledge, modern tools, and practical inspiration you need to bring biology to life for your students.

First-hand science, grounded in the basics: Stay at the forefront of discovery by learning directly from world-class EMBL scientists. We know there is no meaningful enhancement without a strong foundation, so our experts always start from the basics before diving into today's most exciting, cutting-edge advancements.

Ready-to-use, modular resources: Save hours of lesson prep. You will walk away with high-quality teaching resources designed to be taken straight into your classroom. Because every class is unique, our materials are highly flexible, modular, and aligned with international curricula so you can adapt them perfectly to your students' needs.

A vibrant global network: Teaching does not have to happen in a silo. When you join our courses, you plug into a worldwide community of passionate educators. Swap ideas, tackle shared challenges, and build lasting professional relationships with peers from across the globe.

Accessibility and recognition: Science is for everyone. To break down language barriers, we provide translations for our expert talks and teaching resources whenever possible. To top it all off, you will receive official certificates of attendance to validate your hard work and boost your professional development portfolio.

We know educators have packed and constantly shifting schedules. That is why we offer a variety of learning styles, allowing you to choose the format that best fits your life.

Train-the-Trainer Courses: Intensive, in-person workshops (2-3 days) designed to build deep practical skills in laboratory or bioinformatics techniques, empowering you to bring these insights back and train your local teaching communities.

Virtual LearningLABs: Interactive, virtual training courses spanning several weeks. These balance deep scientific dives with a schedule designed around working teachers.

On-demand Courses: Completely flexible, on-demand online learning that you can complete entirely at your own pace, whenever it suits you.

EMBLconnect Courses: Localised training sessions led by trained EMBL Ambassadors across our Member States, bringing world-class life science education and tailored resources directly to your regional teaching community in your local language.

Demand-based Workshops: Responsive, community-driven sessions organised by request. Built directly around the specific needs of educators, these tailored workshops provide targeted training on a particular scientific topic or teaching resource exactly when you need it.

Specialised Workshops: Occasional, exclusive explorations into niche and emerging fields of life sciences, such as our BIOcean5D teacher professional development workshops on aquatic biodiversity.
