SciLifeLab and EMBL in collaboration
SciLifeLab and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), one of the world’s leading research institutions, and Europe’s flagship laboratory for life sciences, have intensified collaboration between the two organizations under a joint Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). EMBL and SciLifeLab share the same overarching goals to advance science for the benefit of healthcare, biodiversity, the environment and many other fields.
As some of the most pressing challenges biological research is facing today are global, effective solutions to improve planetary and human health require scientists working together across countries and disciplines. The MoU declares a joint ambition to stimulate mutually beneficial scientific and academic exchange and collaboration in various areas of life science research in order to ensure greater connectivity, availability of scientific data, use of shared key technologies and circulation of talent.
Ongoing & upcoming
SciLifeLab provides financial support for exchange visits between SciLifeLab and an EMBL site (facility or research group).
You need to schedule a meeting with an infrastructure facility or research group, but why not combine with an EMBL course or workshop?
The deadline for the 2025 applications is March 31st.

An EMBL-SciLifeLab-MIMS workshop on infection
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), SciLifeLab and the Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS) invite you to an in-person workshop on infection biology on 3-4 February 2025 in Umeå.
ARISE2 Career Accelerator for Research Infrastructure Scientists hire researchers and engineers to advance technology and methods in life sciences and learn how to lead service providing research infrastructures.
Through ARISE2, EMBL works with a number of academic and non-academic organisation, who participate in training and supervision of the fellows. These organisations are potential future employers of the ARISE fellows as well as partners on the technology development projects that the fellows are working on.
SciLifeLab is an official collaboration partner organisation and will participate in a number of joint projects with EMBL PIs for ARISE2 Fellows to apply for. SciLifeLab infrastructure is also a possible host for secondments. Do you hold a Ph.D. (at the time of the call deadline November 25, 2024), and what to explore a career in research infrastructure management? Read more through the links below!
