The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) was set up to promote molecular biology across Europe, and to create a centre of excellence for training Europe's leading young molecular biologists. It is a non-profit, intergovernmental organisation funded by 28 member states, one associate member state, and two prospect member states, with funding secured from external funding bodies.

The EMBL-EBI is a world-leading bioinformatics centre providing biological data to the scientific community with expertise in data storage, analysis and representation.

EMBL-EBI has a successful history in identifying and obtaining external funds to further their activities.
