Outstanding scientific event organisers connecting the drug discovery community

Who are ELRIG?

ELRIG are proud to be a leading European not-for-profit organisation dedicated to uplifting the life science and drug discovery community. Our mission is to foster open access to modern research and innovation. Bringing together our vibrant community of over 12,000 life science professionals from academia and biopharma to connect, collaborate and encourage curiosity.

Originally rooted in automation, robotics, and instrumentation, we’ve evolved to address the most pressing challenges in modern drug discovery. From forums & conferences exploring revolutionary breakthroughs to networking meetings designed to connect the brightest minds, we provide a platform for progress.

We’re passionate about driving the industry through inclusion and accessibility. We are actively working to bring more non-white speakers to our stages. Aiming to ensure our delegates are inspired by a broad range of perspectives and experiences, reflecting the global nature of scientific discovery. We are committed to providing free-to-attend events and lowering the barrier to access for all.

Our Purpose

Connect the life science and drug discovery communities to learn, share, and collaborate, all on an open-access basis. We achieve this by hosting world-class conferences, networking events, webinars, and providing digital content.
