Budget boost for EMBL Australia

As announced in the Federal Budget last night, the Australian Government will provide $8.0 million over four years to support the establishment and development of a European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) facility at Monash University. 

The funding will support Australia's participation in major international research projects and also provide access to the EMBL's world‑leading research infrastructure and expertise in bioinformatics, researcher training and research commercialisation. It will also promote research collaboration and researcher mobility between Australia and Europe.
