    We are delighted to invite you to join us for the first ever Advancement Summit for Life Sciences (alumni relations, communications, fundraising). This is a joint initiative between CASE and EMBL, and we have agreed to run this conference online.

    Welcome from the Chairs

    Tom Furnival-Adams

    It is my great pleasure to welcome you, on behalf of EMBL, to this first-of-its-kind summit for life sciences. I very much look forward to this opportunity to hear from an engaging range of experts and speakers, as well as to sharing ideas for best practice and future collaborations. I expect that delegates will return to their institutions with a clear vision of ways they can generate resources for their institutes through coordinated alumni relations, fundraising and communications activities that address their specific institutional needs.
    Matthias Hentze, Director, EMBL

    We are delighted to partner with EMBL, for what we hope to be the first of many programmes to support life science institutes in growing their advancement activity. We are looking forward to hearing from our expert speakers as well as delegates from across a range of backgrounds. We hope that you leave this first summit feeling inspired, challenged, and equipped to engage your communities and champion the success of your institutions.
    Bruce Bernstein, Executive Director, Global Engagement, CASE

    Whether you’re just getting started with your alumni relations programme or it is at a mature stage, this summit will equip you with the ideas, practical skills and inspiration to grow your offering smartly and effectively. This is a great opportunity to reflect on the profound and growing value of alumni relations for life sciences, explore approaches taken by similar institutions to yours and consider ways in which likeminded organisations can collaborate on future events. The summit will provide a platform to learn, share and be enthused by the potential of this rich but largely under-explored resource. Experts from the fields of life sciences and advancement (alumni relations, communications, fundraising) will moderate the sessions and discuss opportunities and challenges.

    This is a valuable opportunity for directors and senior leaders of life sciences institutes, whose buy-in and commitment is essential to building a successful advancement programme, as well as heads of advancement, and anyone working in alumni relations, communications or fundraising within a life sciences environment. Build your network of peers, gain knowledge and inspiration, share tips, experiences and progress with likeminded professionals across all levels. We want this to be the beginning of an ongoing journey in professionalising advancement programmes and fostering productive collaborations between institutes.

    All times are in Central European Summer Time (CEST).
