Abstract

This report provides a short summary of the work and achievements of the EMBnet Publicity and Public Relations Project Committee (P&PR PC) from June 2014 to May 2015. In particular, we give a brief overview of our activities, whose priorities were agreed according to the needs and requests both of the Executive Board (EB) and of the EMBnet community.

The main focal points were: i) management of the EMBnet website and content moderation; ii) coordination and monthly drafting, release and advertisement of EMBnet.digest; iii) assistance in the production and release of new EMBnet QuickGuides; iv) support in the production and advertisement of EMBnet.journal; v) management of relationships within EMBnet’s communities and related networks/societies; vi) support in the organisation of the 2015 EMBnet AGM and of a series of workshops and tutorial events, mostly relating to EMBnet members’ involvement in affiliated projects.
