\u201cPoland has a strong and active life science community, and there are already ongoing collaborations between EMBL faculty and Polish researchers,\u201d says Iain Mattaj, EMBL\u2019s Director General. \u201cWe are very pleased to strengthen that relationship by welcoming Poland as prospect member state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, EMBL and Poland will work together on raising the visibility of EMBL in the country and further promoting collaborative research projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
