The EBI Industry Programme

The Industry Programme is a forum through which the EBI can provide training and research of benefit to the European pharmaceutical, biotechnology, consumer-goods, chemical and agricultural industries.

The Industry Programme enables industry to quickly adapt to, and maximize the benefit from, innovations in the fast-growing field of bioinformatics. Offering training, research, and the development and adaptation of bioinformatics resources that are particularly relevant to industry, the programme content remains at the cutting edge of bioinformatics through joint development by the EBI and its industry partners.
