The EMBL postdoc retreat is an official annual EMBL event under the patronage of the EMBL Heads of Units. It promotes scientific exchange among postdocs and provides a platform to address problems relevant to postdocs.

“The retreat brings them together once a year and provides a fantastic opportunity to network with the next generation of science leaders.”
Dr. Nick Goldman, EBI Academic Training Coordinator

“It's an important forum for all the post-docs to get to know each other.”
Dr. Eileen Furlong, Joint Head of the EMBL Genome Biology Unit

“The retreat is a great opportunity to network EMBL postdocs across Units and disciplines.”
Dr. Jan Ellenberg, Head of the EMBL Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit

“The Postdoc Retreat is developing into a highly professional EMBL-wide event that promotes scientific exchange as much as it provides a platform to target other essential topics such as science outreach, research ethics or the burning questions of career development options and opportunities for researchers at such a decisive point in their professional lives.”
Dr. Helke Hillebrand, Academic Coordinator, EICAT and EMBL Dean of Graduate Studies
