Hosted by MIMS, the meeting took place 7-10 September and included a Young Investigator Meeting, a Group Leader Satellite Meeting, and the main scientific programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The annual meeting provides an opportunity for researchers from the four Nordic EMBL Partnership nodes (<a href=\"https:\/\/dandrite.au.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DANDRITE<\/a> in Denmark, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helsinki.fi\/en\/hilife-fimm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FIMM<\/a> in Finland, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mims.umu.se\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MIMS<\/a> in Sweden and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.uio.no\/ncmbm\/english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCMBM<\/a> in Norway) to share their latest research, explore new collaborations, and strengthen connections across the network. The 2026 meeting also welcomed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/partnerships\/remote\/vu-lsc\/\">VU-LSC EMBL Partnership for Genome Editing Technologies<\/a> from Vilnius, Lithuania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connections that look forward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year\u2019s meeting also provided an opportunity to reflect on the Nordic EMBL Partnership\u2019s place within the wider European research landscape. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/embl-announcements\/tony-hyman-starts-as-embl-director-general\/\">New EMBL Director General Anthony Hyman<\/a> joined the meeting and met with vice chancellors, directors, council members, and funders at a reception held alongside the programme. His keynote, \u201cUnderstanding complexity, connecting Europe \u2013 EMBL\u2019s vision for the next era of biological discovery,\u201d emphasised how AI will help solve key questions in biology and enable the next era of discovery as a methodological shift in analysing molecular biology phenomena and by generating complex hypotheses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting also discussed the Nordic EMBL Partnership\u2019s future as well. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/connections\/meet-the-new-speaker-of-the-nordic-embl-partnership-for-molecular-medicine\/\">Janna Saarela<\/a>, Speaker of the Partnership, shared an update from the Steering Committee, setting out priorities and ambitions for the Partnership\u2019s next phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"a1\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Science and collaboration across borders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scientific programme showcased the breadth of research within the Nordic EMBL Partnership, spanning fundamental biology, molecular mechanisms of disease, and translational research. Alongside presentations from researchers across the four nodes, Guillaume Dum\u00e9nil presented on bacterial infection and pathogenesis in acute meningococcemia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through scientific presentations, poster sessions, discussions, and informal networking, researchers at different career stages could exchange ideas, establish new connections, and identify opportunities for collaboration. This reflects one of the Partnership\u2019s central strengths: bringing complementary expertise together across institutional and national borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"a2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supporting the next generation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting began with the Young Investigator Meeting (YIM), bringing together PhD students and postdoctoral researchers from across the Partnership. The dedicated programme allows early-career researchers to develop scientific networks, exchange experiences, and discuss their research and career development with peers and senior researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This support is an important activity for the Nordic EMBL Partnership, alongside fostering scientific collaboration and providing access to shared expertise, infrastructure, and training opportunities. The annual meeting brings these different aspects of the Partnership together in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 14th meeting in Ume\u00e5 continued this tradition by strengthening connections across the Nordic research community while creating new opportunities for collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"a3\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About the Partnership<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Nordic EMBL Partnership for molecular medicine, established in 2007, connects four institutes that cover different parts of the molecular medicine landscape: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helsinki.fi\/en\/hilife-fimm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FIMM<\/a> in Helsinki works on precision medicine and population genomics, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mims.umu.se\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MIMS<\/a> in Ume\u00e5 on infection biology and host-pathogen interactions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.uio.no\/ncmbm\/english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCMBM<\/a> in Oslo on regulatory genomics and computational medicine, and <a href=\"https:\/\/dandrite.au.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DANDRITE<\/a> in Aarhus on translational neuroscience. The partnership is one of the most developed examples of EMBL\u2019s fifth mission: to coordinate and integrate European life science research. Together, the four nodes employ 23 group leaders recruited through international searches on fixed-term contracts, following the EMBL model of regular scientific renewal that has defined the laboratory.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"vf-divider\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This article was adapted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nordicemblpartnership.org\/items\/nordic-embl-partnership-brings-its-research-community-together-in-ume%C3%A5\">the article<\/a> published by the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists from across the Nordics and EMBL met in Ume\u00e5 for the annual meeting of the Nordic EMBL Partnership for molecular medicine.
