European Molecular Biology Organization - Scientific Exchange

Scientific Exchange

With over 80 meetings attracting more than 6,000 participants every year, EMBO offers the largest number of scientific training events in Europe.

EMBO publishes four peer-reviewed journals: The EMBO Journal, EMBO Reports, Molecular Systems Biology and EMBO Molecular Medicine. These span a broad spectrum of molecular biology topics and reflect how science is changing the world.

EMBO promotes Europe as a research location to foreign researchers, and increases awareness of options for research and training in the life sciences in Europe. This strengthens ties with scientific communities worldwide.

Annually awarded, the EMBO Gold Medal recognises significant contributions of European researchers to the advancement of science.

Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or exchange:

    “The care of a house, the conduct of a home, the management of children, the instruction and government of servants, are as deserving of scientific treatment and scientific professors and lectureships as are the care of farms, the management of manure and crops, and the raising and care of stock.”
    —Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)

    “To coöperate in the highest as well as the lowest sense, means to get our living together. I heard it proposed lately that two young men should travel together over the world, the one without money, earning his means as he went, before the mast and behind the plow, the other carrying a bill of exchange in his pocket. It was easy to see that they could not long be companions or coöperate, since one would not operate at all. They would part at the first interesting crisis in their adventures.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
