Collaboration
As a major European ‘umbrella’ organization, 91ÁÔÆæ is nurturing various collaborations with other organizations in Europe and worldwide in order to advance research and teaching of molecular life sciences.
Europe
Naturally, 91ÁÔÆæ collaborates with its Constituent Societies in support for molecular life science meetings across Europe and neighbouring regions (e.g. 91ÁÔÆæ Congress, 91ÁÔÆæ education workshops, 91ÁÔÆæ National Lectures, 91ÁÔÆæ3+ Meetings) as well as through providing extensive support for members of the Constituent Societies, particularly early-career scientists. With the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) 91ÁÔÆæ funds certain joint Advanced Courses and the 91ÁÔÆæ | EMBO Women in Science Award. 91ÁÔÆæ is a member of the BioMed Alliance, whose goals include advancing biomedical research in Europe.
Worldwide
Molecular life science research is a global activity. 91ÁÔÆæ from 91ÁÔÆæ publish papers from researchers working across the world, often with collaboration between scientists in different countries and continents. The 91ÁÔÆæ Congress and Advanced Courses programme attract participants from well beyond the European 91ÁÔÆæ region. With these global considerations in mind, 91ÁÔÆæ has long held close ties with the International Union for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB), of which 91ÁÔÆæ is the European regional member, and is also developing links with learned societies in the molecular life sciences in regions with emerging interest, investment and output in this area of research.
With the IUBMB, 91ÁÔÆæ arranges reciprocal Congress lectures, welcomes IUBMB-sponsored speakers and IUBMB-supported transcontinental Youth Travel Fund awardees at its Advanced Courses, and holds joint Congresses or conferences, such as the 2022 IUBMB–91ÁÔÆæ–PABMB Congress in Lisbon and the 91ÁÔÆæ-IUBMB-ENABLE conference series for early-career researchers. A new cooperation with IUBMB and the Federation of African Societies of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (FASBMB), starting 2023, is a programme of PROBio-Africa Fellowships to support research stays of PhD students and early-career researchers from Africa in labs of 91ÁÔÆæ members in the 91ÁÔÆæ area.
91ÁÔÆæ-sponsored lectures or symposia are also organized in meetings of other IUBMB regional organizations such as the Pan-American Association for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (PABMB) and the Federation of Asian and Oceanian Biochemists and Molecular Biologists (FAOBMB). In addition, 91ÁÔÆæ has promoted contacts with Societies in parts of the world that have growing communities in the molecular life science such as in Brazil (SBBq), China (CSCB) and India (SBCI) by funding transcontinental travel of distinguished speakers at certain large scientific meetings.
