EMBL Communications

Informing, inspiring, and engaging society with EMBL’s research, services and training

As a publicly funded organisation, EMBL has both a responsibility and an interest to feed back on its work by communicating its innovative research programmes and cutting-edge science, and bringing the questions, concerns and responses of the public to the laboratory.

Edit

We seek to maximise the societal benefit of our knowledge and skills by: helping to inspire the next generation of researchers, engineers, technicians, and other professionals; by informing national and European policymaking, and; providing opportunities to inform and engage society.

We communicate the outcomes and benefits of our innovative research and training programmes, cutting-edge science and technology, and activities for the benefit of Europe, to audiences including policymakers, funding agencies and elected officials, journalists, researchers and technicians, and members of the public in our member states and beyond.

EMBL has communications representatives in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.

Our plans for 2022–26

EMBL provides high-quality information and advice to the media on research and technological developments and their societal, health, and environmental impacts. We also host journalist visits to EMBL sites and organise interviews and background briefings with scientists.
