Modern science needs stronger infrastructure, and a new generation is rising to build it

Behind every cutting-edge experiment is a growing need for people who can build, manage, and future-proof the infrastructure that makes science possible. With its first ARISE fellow from EMBL, VIB is joining a European effort to train exactly that new generation of research technology professionals.
