YEBN is a European-wide network of organisations and individuals engaged as students, researchers, professionals, project leaders in Biotechnology and Life Sciences.

We aim at connecting people and their organisations, at promoting careers and the establishment of international projects; we help our organizations in improving services and opportunities to life scientists by fostering cooperation and exchanges; we represent the needs of young Biotechnologists in Europe by interacting with the European Institutions.

If you are a student or a researcher wishing to be part of large community of colleagues, if you are an institution willing to be in touch with young scientists, if you are a company wishing to reach such a wide target, this is the right place for you!

After a successful first study on 'brain drain' in 2005 and 2006, YEBN is going a step further to identify the key factors driving and impeding life scientists' careers, as relates to skills and international mobility as well as in comparison with the skills and experiences that companies in Europe are looking for and their practices and barriers for hiring life scientists.
