Dear all, Our EMBL 50th Anniversary Scientific Symposium From atoms to ecosystems ' a new era in life sciences is open for registrations. The symposium will take place at EMBL Heidelberg and is open to EMBL staff and alumni. Registration for the onsite event is only via the link in the invitation email. The option to join virtually is open to all. To take part in the symposium virtually please register via the button on this link. https://www.embl.org/about/info/course-and-conference-office/events/lab24-01/ Important information: �From atoms to ecosystems ' a new era in life science' 4 - 5 July 2024, EMBL Heidelberg and Virtual Registration deadline: 27 June 2024 About the conference In 2024, EMBL will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a historic two-day scientific symposium. This colloquium, �From atoms to ecosystems ' a new era in life sciences', will be held both virtually and in-person at Heidelberg on Thursday 4 ' Friday 5 July 2024. The event will celebrate EMBL from the moment of its inception, in 1974 when the proposal to bring a world-class life sciences laboratory to Europe was ratified, through to the exciting and vibrant organisation that EMBL represents today. The symposium will explore the foundational scientific research,service, technology and innovation that EMBL has fostered over the past 50 years. It will showcase EMBL's inspiring and pioneering scientific contributions and highlight how these still continue to evolve to address topics of global importance. The programme will encompass both a historic perspective and a forward look to the cutting edge science that EMBL is bringing to the life sciences of the future. The symposium sessions will include presentations from current and former EMBL group leaders, as well as former EMBL pre- and postdoctoral fellows. The first day will be focused on research from cells to tissues, spanning genome biology, developmental biology, as well as protein structures and complexes. The second day will focus on digital biology and the current EMBL research programme, �Molecules to Ecosystems', as well as technological advances past and present. The symposium will conclude with a panel on "The past, the present and the future. A discussion with EMBL's global community".

The workshop series aims to highlight the latest technological advances, amplify scientific and societal focus on biodiversity, and showcase studies on the vital role of microbes in planetary ecosystems. Important information: 'Molecular mechanisms in evolution and ecology' 8 - 11 October 2024, EMBL Heidelberg and Virtual Abstract submission deadline : 10 July 2024 On-site registration deadline: 27 August 2024 Virtual registration deadline: 1 October 2024 About the conference The focus of this workshop series is on interspecies and cell-environment interactions across living organisms, with a special focus on bacteria, microbial eukaryotes, and viruses. The workshop series aims to highlight the latest technological advances, amplify scientific and societal focus on biodiversity, and showcase studies on the vital role of microbes in planetary ecosystems. The 2024 meeting will bring together researchers from a wide range of fields and organismal systems that aim to gain mechanistic insights on major outstanding ecological and evolutionary questions (e.g., how organisms interact and assemble into communities, how genotypic variation transforms into phenotypic variation) or that develop novel experimental and / or computational approaches for doing so. The meeting will foster dialogue between researchers from different backgrounds that work on diverse ecological systems to catalyze new innovative ideas and aid the career advancement of young researchers. Keynote speaker We are pleased to announce that Harmit Malik from Howard Hughes Medical Institute & Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (USA) will be the keynote speaker Organisers Scientific organisers Gilles Fischer Sorbonne University (France), Jordi van Gestel EMBL Heidelberg (Germany), Kimberly Kline University of geneva (Switzerland), Sara Mitri University of Lausanne (Switzerland), and Antonio Rokas Vanderbit University (USA) have put together an excellent programme and are ready to welcome you!
