The AIMBN was founded in 1997 with a mission to promote molecular biology and biotechnology in the Asia-Pacific region. The organisation was modelled after EMBO, and EMBO took an advisory role during the AIMBN’s early period, in particular in the screening of potential membership candidates. By 2007, they had 300 members in 16 participating ‘economies’ (so-called due to the political situations in Taipei and Taiwan), and 16 supporting institutes across the region. They held conferences and courses in participating economies.

Basel Life was an annual life sciences congress held in Basel, Switzerland, active from 2016 to 2019. Established as a continuation and expansion of the earlier MipTec conference, BASEL LIFE brought together academic researchers, clinicians, and representatives from the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. It combined scientific sessions with an industry exhibition and hosted the annual meeting of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) during its run. The event aimed to foster exchange between basic research and applied innovation in the life sciences.

The Course Committee was first appointed by council on May 8th 1965, in order to manage funds the organisation were to receive from the Volkswagen Foundation in December of that year . The structure of the grant allocated funding for Courses and Workshops, the former providing laboratory training in new scientific techniques, and the latter being more informal meetings, bringing scientists together and offering them the opportunity to learn and present new discoveries. The remit of the department has expanded over time, now encompassing keynote lectures, conferences, training, and scientific training conducted in non-EMBC countries. EMBO also formed partnerships with other organisations to offer training courses, including symposia offered in collaboration with the European Science Foundation (ESF), and Plenary Lectures organised alongside the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS).

EMBO Press is the editorially independent publishing arm of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO). It brings together EMBO’s scientific journals and publishing activities under EMBO’s own publishing platform with a stated mission to promote transparent, ethical, and reproducible scientific publishing. EMBO’s journals began as discrete titles with the establishment of The EMBO Journal in 1982, and were published on behalf of EMBO by commercial publishing partners for many years; in 2013 EMBO consolidated editorial control and branding under EMBO Press while continuing to work with production/distribution partners.

EMBO Press currently publishes five titles: The EMBO Journal, EMBO Reports, Molecular Systems Biology, EMBO Molecular Medicine, and Life Science Alliance.

The European Cell Biology Organisation was founded in 1969 to promote the advancement of cell biology in Europe through international collaboration, training, and scientific exchange. It organised congresses, meetings, and training activities to strengthen the discipline and provide a platform for researchers across national boundaries.
ECBO applied to become affiliated with the EMBC in December 1974. A working group of the EMBC was established to evaluate this proposal, which recommended that two representatives of ECBO be represented on the EMBO course committee, which was accepted.
