Following last week’s #PhD session, thanks again to Dr Sabrina Krueger (@embl) for delivering her project management course this week to 16 #postdocs from the EMBL Australia community - building essential skills for managing complexity at the postdoc stage!
Big thanks to Dr Sabrina Krueger from @embl.org's International Centre for Advanced Training for delivering a two half‑day Project Management course for Aussie #PhDs from the EMBL Australia community. Building these skills early helps researchers manage complexity & stay focused on great science! 💪
Australia’s fast‑tracked negotiations to join #HorizonEurope mark a major step for Australian science.
Prof José Polo says Australia’s long partnership with @embl.org puts us in a strong position - with ready‑made links into European consortia, global biodata ecosystems, and world‑class training.
We're incredibly proud of our core facilities knowledge exchange workshop and the global impact it has had.

🌟 10 DAYS - 60 STUDENTS - 34 SPEAKERS 🌟
Today we wrapped our 10th PhD Course with a focus on careers & research impact after two weeks of learning, networking & inspiration.
Congratulations to all participants! And thanks to our wonderful sponsors, speakers & organising committee👏👏 #EMBLAPhD
🎉 Delighted the White Paper is out, confirming commitment of EU & Australian Research Infrastructures to strengthen collaboration - a great outcome from the 🇪🇺🇦🇺Symposiums on Health & Life Sciences Research Infrastructures in Prato.
Proud to have participated with our partners! 🤝
🔬 Huge thanks to @micro-au.bsky.social & Adelaide Microscopy for an incredible day at the #EMBLAPhD Course!
From volume EM & cryo-TEM, to AI-powered image analysis & spatial transcriptomics, students gained a valuable behind-the-scenes glimpse at cutting-edge imaging.
Today’s focus was all about #scicomm - and our PhD Course participants couldn’t have been in better hands with our trainers, Jodie Haigh & Dr Jonathan Berengut.
Students put all the tips into practice with 3MTs & a poster session. A day of skills that will last a career!
#EMBLAPhD
A huge thanks to the SMART CRC for supporting our 10th PhD Course! 👏
We’re grateful for an informative, engaging day - from bridging the gap between #research and #industry, to group work on bringing a cell therapy to market, plus sessions on IP & commercialisation.
