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:

    “Marxism is not scientific: at the best, it has scientific prejudices.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment. They farm fungi, raise aphids as livestock, launch armies into war, use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies, capture slaves, engage in child labor, exchange information ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television.”
    —Lewis Thomas (b. 1913)
