‘Tis the Season to be Jolly

Excitement! Our annual Facebook advent competition is coming up!

Over the past few years we have been putting a smile on your face and a strain on your brain with our event riddles to set the mood for the upcoming holidays. Now we are ready to roll again so head to our Facebook page and stay tuned for your chance to win one of 5 free registrations* for one of our 2020 conferences.

How it works:

  • Beginning 1 Dec, we post an image/picture/game each day on the EMBL Events Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages
  • You guess which of our 2020 courses or conferences is depicted. For a complete list of events, visit embl.de/events
  • Send your answer to eventadvent@embl.de by midday (CET) the following day, include the solution in the subject line
  • Only one entry per person per day is allowed
  • Winners will be selected from the correct entries randomly in January 2020
