Overview
EMBL invites members of the life sciences community in Italy, including its own alumni and staff, to EMBL in Italy 2023: Chance and necessity-the indispensable role of curiosity-driven life sciences, held on Thursday to Friday 18-19 May 2023.
This two-day event includes speakers representing a diverse group of EMBL faculty and basic life science researchers and foundations from around Italy. Its focus will be the indispensable role of curiosity-driven fundamental research and its funding. It is an excellent opportunity to reflect on basic research today and to connect with an impressive community of life scientists and funders. The event also aims to strengthen ties and highlight resources as well as collaboration opportunities between EMBL, the University of Turin and Piemonte Orientale as well as networks in Italy.
