Industry

The Industry Programme is a forum for interaction between EMBL-EBI and the industrial life-science research sector. Our member organisations, which include pharmaceutical and agribusiness companies, engage with EMBL-EBI in the latest bioinformatics research, service and standards development as well as training and pre-competitive projects. We also support small and medium-sized enterprises through our SME Forum.

Research infrastructures

EMBL-EBI is a pivotal partner in ELIXIR, the European life sciences infrastructure for biological information, as part of the European Strategy on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) process. On behalf of ELIXIR, EMBL-EBI coordinates BioMedBridges, which develops technical bridges for interoperability between data and services in the ESFRI biomedical sciences research infrastructures. These collaborative projects are undertaken with our partners in the European Member States.
