This is a free training opportunity aimed at secondary-school and informal STEM teachers, as well as teacher-trainers across Europe. The course is scheduled to take place on 2\u20134 March 2026 at EMBL\u2019s Heidelberg campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2.5-day in-person programme gives participants a deep dive into the science of epigenetics: how chemical modifications regulate gene expression without altering the DNA sequence, the role the environment plays, and why epigenetics matters for development, health, and disease. Through expert talks, discussions, and interactive sessions, educators will become familiar with the latest research and will receive ready-to-use teaching materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the course, participants will be certified as EMBL Teacher Ambassadors, granting them access to the EMBLconnect scheme. As Ambassadors, they will be able to deliver epigenetics workshops in their home countries, in their national languages, thus bringing cutting-edge life-science education to classrooms across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications are open until <strong>11 January 2026<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/ells\/training\/epigenetics-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n<button class=\"vf-button vf-button--primary\">Apply here<\/button>\n<\/a>\n<!--\/vf-button-->\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#Epigenetics2026 EMBL\u2019s Science Education and Public Engagement (SEPE) team is now accepting applications for its upcoming \u201cEpigenetics explained\u201d course.
