About EMBL
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is Europe’s life sciences laboratory. We provide leadership and coordination for the life sciences across Europe, and our world-class fundamental research seeks collaborative and interdisciplinary solutions for some of society’s biggest challenges. We provide training for students and scientists, drive the development of new technology and methods in the life sciences, and offer state-of-the-art research infrastructure for a wide range of experimental and data services.
EMBL is an intergovernmental organisation with 29 member states, one associate member, and one prospective member. At our six sites in Barcelona, Grenoble, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Hinxton near Cambridge, and Rome, we seek to better understand life in its natural context, from molecules to ecosystems. www.embl.org
About the Tara Ocean Foundation
The Tara Ocean Foundation — first public interest foundation in France dedicated to the Ocean — has two main missions: exploring the Ocean to better understand it and sharing scientific knowledge about the Ocean to raise public awareness. For 20 years, the Foundation has been supporting innovative Ocean science, in partnership with world-leading research centers, to study marine biodiversity, as well as observe and anticipate the impacts of climate change and pollution.
Faced with the urgent need to make the protection of the Ocean a common responsibility, the Foundation raises public awareness of the challenges facing the Ocean, educates young generations, facilitates international cooperation and mobilizes policymakers. Thanks to its Special Observer Status at the United Nations, the Foundation actively participates in crucial decisions in favor of the Ocean. Studying and protecting the Ocean means taking care of the global health of our planet and our future. https://fondationtaraocean.org/
About EMBRC
The European Marine Biological Resource Centre is a European research infrastructure which aims at advancing ocean science to better tackle societal issues. The organisation mobilises scientists, industries, policymakers and citizens towards an open and inclusive science. Gathering more than 70 marine stations and institutions in Europe, it stands as a gateway for researchers studying marine biodiversity and ecosystems worldwide. Focusing on a transnational approach, it provides high level research services, marine data with its biodiversity observatory EMOBON (European Marine Omics Biodiversity Observation Network), and expertise in marine biology and ecology.
EMBRC strives to support knowledge and technological transfer globally in order to promote a sustainable use of living marine resources. In the face of environmental challenges, EMBRC contributes to building a science-based policymaking process to drive further action on an international level. EMBRC has had the status of European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), granted and assessed by the European Commission, since 2018. https://www.embrc.eu/.
