DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Iain Mattaj\nAbstract: The European Molecular Biology 
 Laboratory (EMBL) is Europe’s flagship laboratory for the life sciences. 
 It was established over 40 years ago to create a centre of excellence for 
 molecular biology research in Europe. Continued scientific excellence at E
 MBL is pursued through a unique mix of synergistic missions and a collabor
 ative approach that combines methods and insights from different disciplin
 es\, complemented by a variety of successful organisational principles.\n\
 nAs Europe’s only intergovernmental laboratory organisation in the life s
 ciences\, EMBL is ideally positioned to promote interdisciplinary collabor
 ation and foster scientific excellence across Europe and beyond. In my tal
 k I will present the successful EMBL model and illustrate EMBL’s approach
  to promoting interdisciplinary excellence-driven European research in the
  life sciences.\n\nProf. Iain Mattaj was born in St. Andrews\, Scotland. H
 e attended Edinburgh University. After completing his undergraduate degree
  in Biochemistry (honours) he attended the University of Leeds\, England f
 or his PhD studies. Following his PhD\, Prof. Mattaj carried out postdocto
 ral research at the Friedrich Miescher Institute\, Switzerland then at the
  Biocentre\, University of Basel\, Switzerland before joining EMBL Heidelb
 erg\, Germany as a Group Leader in 1985. He became Coordinator of the Gene
  Expression Unit at EMBL in 1990 before being promoted to the position of
