EMBL Rome 25th Anniversary Symposium

Overview

EMBL Rome turns 25 and is looking forward to celebrating with staff and alumni who made the history of the institute.

EMBL Rome invites its staff and alumni to gather for a scientific symposium celebrating EMBL’s 50th  and EMBL Rome’s 25th anniversary. The programme features talks by former heads of EMBL Rome and alumni who will share their experience at EMBL Rome and their scientific path and accomplishments after leaving EMBL. 

We will look back at important milestones and will present the latest achievements and development of the site in the context of the wider EMBL’s programme and future research directions.

The event will culminate with a closing party to reconnect, network and celebrate.
