EMBL-EBI Highlights 2021

2021 brought a huge range of online training from trainers across EMBL-EBI and beyond, from an introduction to the new protein structure database, AlphaFold, to a series of webinars discussing open access in the life sciences.


With 27 member states, laboratories at six sites across Europe and thousands of scientists and engineers working together, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is a powerhouse of biological expertise. EMBL is an intergovernmental organisation, headquartered in Heidelberg, and was founded in 1974 with the mission of promoting molecular biology research in Europe, training young scientists, and developing new technologies.

EMBL currently employs more than 1800 people in Barcelona, ​​Grenoble, Hamburg, Heidelberg, EMBL-EBI Hinxton (near Cambridge), and Rome.

Publishing hundreds of research articles and hosting dozens of conferences every year, EMBL is driving visionary fundamental research, and training Europe’s future scientific talent.

EMBL’s missions are to:

  • Perform fundamental research in molecular biology
  • Train scientists, students and visitors at all levels
  • Offer vital services to scientists in the member states and the world
  • Actively engage in technology transfer and industry relations
  • Coordinate and integrate European life science research
