Connecting, engaging and nurturing EMBLs global community of current and former scientists, technicians, communicators and administrators
The EMBL Alumni Association board is a democratically-elected cross-section of committed former staff who work with the Alumni Relations team to help maximise our programme.
The board is elected every four years by members of the EMBL Alumni Association (EAA). They meet twice a year to conduct the business of the Association. An overview of the responsibilities undertaken by EAA board members is available here.
Next EAA board election: May/June 2027
