EMBO was founded in 1964 – with Max Perutz elected as the first Chairman and John Kendrew as Secretary General – with the goal to create a central European laboratory for life sciences and increase scientific interactions between researchers in Europe. Today the organization has more than 1.800 members elected by their peers; 88 Nobel Laureates have or have held EMBO Membership. Funded by its member states, the organization supports research fellowships, courses, workshops, conferences, and science policy initiatives.
