EMBO Workshops bring together scientists to present and discuss the latest findings in their subject areas related to the life sciences. Scientists can apply to organize a conference in their field. This bottom-up approach ensures that the portfolio of scientific meetings funded by EMBO reflects the needs and developments of the scientific community. In addition to providing the basic funding for the meeting, EMBO assists organizers in promoting the workshop and creating a webpage with a registration and abstract submission system. EMBO offers travel grants, childcare grants and accessibility grants for each event. Participants of EMBO Workshops should apply directly to the organizers for these grants. Organizers are encouraged to experiment with hybrid or virtual conference formats. An extra 10,000 euros will be provided if organizers choose a hybrid format to cover the additional cost incurred for providing the online options.
