This includes a good balance between theory and practice, close supervision yet creative freedom, a spirit of collaboration, and early independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the direction of Monika Lachner, Head of Internal Scientific Training and Dean of Graduate Studies, this already well-regarded programme is looking to the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe wanted the additional capacity to push projects that enable innovation in graduate education,\u201d Lachner said, highlighting the importance of a newly established program manager position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most recently, Fulvio Grigolato joined the programme\u2019s two Graduate Officers, Vira Beck and Carolina Garcia Sabate. A physicist by training, Grigolato&nbsp;will contribute to further expanding EIPP\u2019s interdisciplinarity and helping it transition with EMBL\u2019s next five-year Research Programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EMBL has long offered a multidisciplinary approach to science and research. Likewise, EIPP has increasingly encouraged candidates with backgrounds in chemistry, physics, mathematics, molecular medicine, computer sciences, or engineering to apply, so to work closely with biologists answering fundamental questions in life sciences. Currently, approximately 16% of EIPP fellows come from complementary fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDue to their increasing complexity, the scientific questions we face as a society demand increased cooperation among different disciplines,\u201d Grigolato said. \u201cA solid interdisciplinary training is the best way to equip future leaders in academia, industry, policymaking, and beyond with the skills required to tackle those questions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Increasing interdisciplinarity creates new opportunities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Interdisciplinarity is central to EMBL\u2019s forthcoming scientific programme, <em>Molecules to Ecosystems 2022\u20132026<\/em>. The organisation\u2019s&nbsp;research will remain firmly rooted in molecular biology, with the goal of gaining better understanding of life in the context of its environment. This requires unveiling not only how living organisms work and function individually, but also how they interact with other organisms and their ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EMBL\u2019s&nbsp;ambitious approach to life science research creates additional opportunities for complementary&nbsp;disciplines \u2013 such as mathematics, engineering, ecology, climatology, and many others \u2013 to help investigate living systems and advance understanding of fundamental biological processes. For EIPP, Lachner said, \u201cWe have two important challenges: to attract candidates from these backgrounds and then provide the right training.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, the programme will increase its visibility at relevant university departments. Furthermore, following the success of EMBL\u2019s Lautenschl\u00e4ger Summer School, EIPP will continue developing workshops that inspire undergraduate students to pursue interdisciplinary PhDs in life sciences at EMBL. EIPP will also design and integrate additional customised training modules. Furthermore, the training will reflect the increasingly crucial role that computer and data sciences play in managing and analysing massive amounts of biological data. Information generated by science \u2013 molecular biology, in particular \u2013 is steadily growing as more advanced experimental techniques provide high-resolution, multidimensional data at unprecedented rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The changing science of molecular biology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNature doesn&#8217;t care about the cultural conventions that shape what we consider scientific disciplines,\u201d said Anna Erzberger, a physicist and one of EMBL\u2019s newest group leaders. \u201cIf we want a predictive understanding of the behaviour of proteins, cells, and organisms, and to push the current technological limits of what can be measured, we need expertise from physics, mathematics, computer science, and chemistry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EIPP fellows note the relevance of interdisciplinary training as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI see EMBL as a great opportunity for collaborations,\u201d said Franziska Walterspiel, a chemist and new Deo Group predoctoral fellow. \u201cIt will be great to see new partnerships with non-biology departments at universities emerge to strengthen the interdisciplinary aspect of EMBL.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tim Dullweber, an Erzberger Group predoc, described it like this: \u201cEMBL is a door opener due to its excellent reputation.\u201d As a physicist interested in statistical physics and theoretical biophysics, he continued: \u201cThe multidisciplinary environment teaches us how to live in between worlds, how to communicate with other physicists as well as hardcore biologists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>EMBL\u2019s growing embrace of multidisciplinary work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This same spirit of collaboration and convergence of disciplines is at the heart of many EMBL initiatives \u2014 something expected to go beyond EMBL itself to connect with and across member states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the past year, EMBL has signed several memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with a variety of international organisations whose missions complement EMBL\u2019s and who&nbsp;offer further enhanced opportunities for collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lachner also notes that EMBL\u2019s Interdisciplinary Postdoc Programme (EIPOD) continues to be a driving force for collaboration across the organisation. The programme, co-funded by the European Commission under Marie&nbsp;Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Actions, supports postdocs who work on self-designed research projects involving two or more EMBL groups. Scientists from other academic institutes, clinics, and industry also participate on EIPOD research projects,&nbsp;thereby fostering collaboration across sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, recognising its scientific services and core facilities can effectively blend disciplines \u2013 especially as EMBL\u2019s new Imaging Centre comes online \u2013 EMBL initiated a new infrastructure training programme: Career Accelerator for Research Infrastructure Scientists (ARISE). It will attract scientists aspiring to develop and lead infrastructure services. Applications to ARISE are due in late November for training starting in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a really exciting time,\u201d Lachner said. \u201cI love being in the midst of this kind of change that is rich with innovative ideas to help our PhD programme grow and evolve, which in turn, takes EMBL to this next level as a global leader in science.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EMBL&#8217;s PhD and postdoc programmes evolve to the more multidisciplinary way of doing great molecular biology research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":100,"featured_media":43480,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[18719,892,749,639,4732,1704,49,914,75,27],"embl_taxonomy":[2280,5168,5170],"class_list":["post-42502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lab-matters","tag-arise","tag-eicat","tag-eipod","tag-eipp","tag-embl-international-phd-programme","tag-embl-programme","tag-interdisciplinary","tag-interdisciplinary-research","tag-phd","tag-training","embl_taxonomy-arise","embl_taxonomy-embl-international-phd-programme","embl_taxonomy-postdoctoral-programme"],"acf":{"featured":true,"show_featured_image":false,"article_intro":"<p>The EMBL International PhD Programme will evolve its training offers in line with the increasing need for interdisciplinary approaches in life sciences<\/p>\n","related_links":[{"link_description":"EMBL International PhD Programme","link_url":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/embl-international-phd-programme\/"}],"source_article":false,"in_this_article":false,"press_contact":"None","field_target_display":"embl","vf_locked":false,"vfwp-news_embl_taxonomy":[2280,5168,5170],"field_article_language":{"value":"english","label":"English"},"article_translations":false,"languages":""},"embl_taxonomy_terms":[{"uuid":"a:3:{i:0;s:36:\"302cfdf7-365b-462a-be65-82c7b783ebf7\";i:1;s:36:\"cac5b899-a450-4f36-a445-8508ae6b1134\";i:2;s:36:\"b5089493-31a1-4fce-bb50-9ce0c7fd4555\";}","parents":[],"name":["ARISE"],"slug":"arise","description":"What &gt; Training and development &gt; ARISE"},{"uuid":"a:3:{i:0;s:36:\"302cfdf7-365b-462a-be65-82c7b783ebf7\";i:1;s:36:\"cac5b899-a450-4f36-a445-8508ae6b1134\";i:2;s:36:\"afd7439a-b5db-4f9c-aa38-87fc3c9fcc57\";}","parents":[],"name":["EMBL International PhD Programme"],"slug":"embl-international-phd-programme","description":"What &gt; Training and development &gt; EMBL International PhD Programme"},{"uuid":"a:3:{i:0;s:36:\"302cfdf7-365b-462a-be65-82c7b783ebf7\";i:1;s:36:\"cac5b899-a450-4f36-a445-8508ae6b1134\";i:2;s:36:\"990f646b-8705-4861-a127-84daf52ee14f\";}","parents":[],"name":["Postdoctoral Programme"],"slug":"postdoctoral-programme","description":"What &gt; Training and development &gt; Postdoctoral Programme"}],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
