Sartorius, a leading international laboratory and pharmaceutical equipment supplier, has partnered with global research firm EMBL, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory. It includes many research sites, such as Heidelberg and Hamburg in Germany, Hinxton in the UK, Grenoble in France and Monterotondo in Italy.

Sartorius has joined the Corporate Partnership Program, EMBL’s platform for fostering advanced training collaboration and activities designed to connect industry to academia. The Corporate Partnership Program includes initiatives such as creating training courses, sponsoring conferences, organizing workshops for professionals and young scientists at the EMBL International Center for Advanced Training (EICAT), which offers numerous courses and conferences each year. In addition, Sartorius will also provide long-term support to EMBL’s school education program by funding travel bursaries each year for teachers to attend courses run by EMBL’s Learning Laboratory for the Life Sciences, ELLS.

“By focusing on professional training at all levels, and ensuring that the next generation of young talent has access to the latest knowledge, we aim to support the scientific community to reach its maximum potential,” said Karen Storm, vice president of marketing in the lab products and services division, Sartorius.

In addition, EMBL is actively expanding its footprint by strengthening activities beyond the academic sphere into industry. “On behalf of EMBL, we welcome Sartorius to our family of Corporate Partners.
