Luxembourg joins EMBC as 27th Member State
The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) today announced that Luxembourg has joined its intergovernmental funding body, the European Molecular Biology Conference (EMBC). The addition of Luxembourg brings the total number of EMBC member states to 27 enabling Luxembourg scientists to benefit from the many opportunities for scientific advancement offered by EMBO. “Luxembourg is committed to fundamental biology and continuing development in the molecular life sciences. EMBO looks forward to the participation of Luxembourg scientists in our activities,” said Hermann Bujard, EMBO Executive Director. Professor Evelyne Friederich of the Life Sciences Research Unit at the University of Luxembourg commented: “The creation of skills for molecular biology is critical for life sciences research in Luxembourg. Our scientists will benefit greatly from the high-quality EMBO publications, programmes and activities.” About EMBO The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) promotes excellence in molecular life sciences in Europe. Since 1964, leading scientists are elected annually to become EMBO Members based on proven excellence in research. Members number more than 1300 today with a further 80 associate members worldwide. Forty-five scientists from the EMBO membership have received the Nobel Prize. EMBO Members have the opportunity to influence the direction of European life sciences and more than half are involved in guiding the execution of the many EMBO initiatives offered to life scientists. Leading peer-reviewed journals - The EMBO Journal, EMBO reports and Molecular Systems Biology - span all aspects of molecular biology and reflect how science is shaping the world. EMBO-sponsored training and networking activities impact thousands of scientists every year, promoting collaboration in all areas of molecular biology – within Europe and worldwide. EMBO is renowned for the quality and funding of these programmes and activities that include EMBO Courses & Workshops, EMBO Long-and Short-term Fellowships, the EMBO Young Investigator Programme, the EMBO Science & Society Programme, EMBO Installation Grants and EMBO Women in Science. Annual awards, such as the EMBO Gold Medal and the EMBO Award for Communication in the Life Sciences, recognise significant contributions of European researchers to the advancement of science.
