SKILLS
ABOUT ADITYA SANKAR
With over 4 years of experience at EMBL, I lead the Scientific Visitor Programme, developing and implementing new fellowship initiatives and optimising existing ones to support short/long-term research stays for external scientists. My responsibilities include collaborating with stakeholders to design programs like the EMBL TechDev Internship Programme, EMBL UNESCO Residency in Infection Biology and the EMBL Sabbatical Fellowships, while ensuring the smooth registration and logistical support for incoming visitors. I also oversee the professional development of team members, fostering a collaborative and high-performing environment. Additionally, I contribute to EMBL\'s Course and Conference Programme by supporting funding applications and facilitating training sessions for internationally based scientists visiting EMBL. My interim leadership of the External Scientific Courses Programme further emphasise my ability to manage teams, plan courses, and ensure the successful delivery of hands-on training initiatives. My mission is to advance scientific education and collaboration, and resolving barriers to empowering researchers worldwide.
