EMBO is pleased to introduce EMBO Global Exchange, a new programme beginning in 2010 that extends, beyond European borders, our commitment to catalyze scientific exchange. Building on the EMBO mission to recognize leading researchers, disseminate scientific information and foster talented scientists, EMBO Global Exchange offers new forums to establish long-lasting cooperation worldwide.

In this first phase, life scientists in India, China, Taiwan & Africa can form closer ties with their colleagues in Europe. Likewise, European researchers benefit from more intense exchange with scientists in the emerging centers of excellence in these participating countries. It is intended that this initiative will be broadened to include more countries following its initial phase.

We invite you to find out more about each of the three parts of EMBO Global Exchange by following the links below.
