Joint Industry Programme Workshops

The Industry Programme organises high quality workshops and symposia, providing expert level presentations and strategic discussion opportunities for the Industry Programme members through focussed presentations and discussions.

Workshops are led by a scientific coordinator who may be a member of EMBL-EBI staff, a senior academic collaborator or a representative of one of the Industry Programme members. Workshops and Symposia typically include key opinion leaders and stakeholders from the research and industry communities.

The subject areas for the workshops are prioritised by the Industry Programme member companies. Workshops may be technically or standards focussed or as part of a more general pre-competitive initiative.
