EMBO

EMBO fellowsNet is the web-based portal where our fellows, scientists who have benefited from funding and support for post-doctoral research from EMBO Long-Term Fellowships, can stay connected with the EMBO community. Once registered, you can receive news updates from EMBO, upload your contact information and publication records, and communicate with other EMBO Fellows.

The next EMBO Fellows Meeting is planned for 14 - 17 June 2012 and will take place at EMBL, Heidelberg.

The Fellows Meeting is open to Fellows who accepted or started their fellowship in 2009 and hold at least an 11-month-long fellowship. As in previous years, the programme includes a Science Communication Workshop.

There is no registration fee.

Fellows will have accommodation and travel expenses covered by EMBO. Accommodation will be arranged at the Crowne Plaza .

Fellows from other years (who have completed at least an 11-month fellowship) will have only accommodation expenses covered by EMBO.

More information will follow in January 2012.

EMBO Editors are available to visit your institute to speak about the editorial process and scientific publishing at EMBO.

The Editors are also happy to tour laboratories, discuss your work and  talk about scientific publishing as a career choice.

During my PhD, I was involved in humanitarian action schemes in West Africa aiming to improve life quality by working in coordination with locals structures (associations, authorities etc).  In 2001, I joined the laboratory of Rainer Pepperkok at EMBL with an EMBO Long-term Fellowship. In 2003, together with other enthusiast fellows I founded Adéquation Germany , an officially registered charity. The main focus of this charity is not to collect money but to recycle unwanted lab equipment which can then be sent to labs in Eastern Europe and Africa.

Dear Fellows,

Prof. Roy McWeeny, Member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science (www.iaqms.org ) and Emeritus Professor in Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Pisa, has dedicated many years of voluntary work to developing a series of Basic Books in Science that are freely available via the Internet to users around the world, having in mind particularly the needs of those who live in places where access to quality sources for learning is difficult or impossible.
Information about this effort is available at www.learndev.org/ScienceWorkBooks.html .
