Editorial

This EMBnet.journal supplement is dedicated to the 2011 EMBnet Annual General Meeting (AGM) and satellite workshop, which took place at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência in Oeiras, Portugal, between the 23 and 25 May 2011. This, the 23 consecutive EMBnet AGM, was a significant one: it was celebrated during a time when EMBnet has begun to redefine itself in order to continue to contribute effectively to the life sciences’ evolving data-driven landscape, for the benefit of the communities it continues to serve.

The 2011 workshop and AGM consequently formed an important landmark in EMBnet´s history. The discussions centered around questions on how EMBnet could and should change in order to become a more efficient and agile organisation. Participants in the workshop worked extremely hard during the meeting: this EMBnet.journal supplement highlights some of the important discussions around the work of the EMBnet community towards shaping and re-shaping an effective EMBnet of tomorrow.
