EMBL and EMBO staff and alumni had the opportunity to catch up over drinks and to exchange information, reconnect with former colleagues and make new contacts at The EMBO Meeting on 7 September. The drinks reception was followed by dinner at Cielo’s restaurant in the lively district of Birmingham’s Brindley Place. “Holding this reception at The EMBO Meeting (and its predecessor the ELSO Meeting) has been a priority for us since 2005, benefitting from an event that generally attracts the EMBL/EMBO community at large,” says Matthias Hentze, EMBL Director.
